AB This study evaluated the effectiveness of a brief intervention (BI) in
reducing HIV risk-taking behaviours among 200 injecting drug users (IDU)
not enrolled in any form of treatment for drug dependence. Subjects were
randomly assigned to either a one-session cognitive-behavioural
intervention or to a no-treatment control condition (C). Follow-up
occurred at 3 and 6 months. 121 subjects were successfully contacted for
a 3 month follow-up and 88 subjects were followed up at 6 months. There
were significant reductions for the sample as a whole for injecting risk
subscale scores on the HIV Risk-taking Behaviour Scale of the Opiate
Treatment Index between pre-treatment and follow-up. There was no
significant change in sexual risk-taking. There were no significant
differences between groups on any measure at 3- and 6-month follow-up.
Possible reasons why the sample as a whole showed a significant
reduction in injecting risk-taking include regression towards the mean,
changes over time in association with unknown factors and the initial
assessment acting as a form of BI with all subjects.
