AB In this study, sexual risk behavior of 104 incarcerated female drug
users is examined. Findings demonstrate that incarcerated women who use
drugs are at high risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
because of their behavior prior to arrest. During the month prior to
arrest, the majority of respondents were sexually active. Half reported
past sexual contacts with injecting drug users, and more than one-third
had traded sex for money or drugs. Consistent with other studies, condom
use was more frequent with casual or commercial partners. Those who
traded sex for money were less likely to be white Anglo or regular
heroin users, and more likely to be regular crack users and alcoholic,
have fathers who were drug or alcohol users, and perceive themselves as
at-risk for contracting HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.
