Staying safe: How do long term injecting drug users avoid hepatitis C infection?

该项目旨在发现一些注射吸毒者如何以及为什么能够避免感染丙型肝炎，尽管他们在大多数其他注射者感染病毒的地方注射了多年。主要关注当前长期（8年或以上）注射者为避免丙型肝炎病毒感染所使用的策略。还将进行研究，以了解丙型肝炎病毒感染者为避免将其传染给他人而采用的策略和预防策略。

This project seeks to discover how and why some injecting drug users have managed to avoid becoming infected with hepatitis C despite having injected for many years in localities in which most other injectors have acquired the virus. The primary interest is on the strategies used by current long term (8 years or more) injectors to avoid HCV infection. Research will also be done to understand the strategies and prevention tactics used by people with HCV to avoid passing it on to others.
