The impact of sex partners' HIV status on HIV seroconversion in a prospective cohort of infection drug users
Article Abstract:
The HIV status of the sex partners of injection drug users (IDUs) and rates of subsequent HIV seroconversion among a prospective cohort study of IDUs is evaluated. Having an HIV-positive sex partner was strongly and independently associated with seroconversion after adjustment for risk factors related to drug use.
