Correlates of HIV status among injection drug users in a border region of Southern China and Northern Vietnam
Article Abstract:
An analysis of the correlates of HIV status among samples of injection drug users (IDUs) in border region of Southern China and Northern Vietnam is presented and they are interviewed and tested for HIV antibody just before the start of a peer-based HIV prevention intervention in this border region. Logistic regression analysis suggests that among Chinese IDUs, border related factors and younger age are the best predictors of HIV positivity.
