AB Some studies have found that sex-related HIV risk behavior is less
common among drug users in treatment than among users not in treatment;
other studies have found no such relationship. However, past studies
have not controlled for drug-user background characteristics that might
confound the relationship between treatment and risk behavior. Among
this sample of injection drug users in Los Angeles, those enrolled in
methadone maintenance treatment report fewer past-year sex partners than
those not in treatment; among treatment clients, number of past-year
partners is negatively related to time in treatment. These findings
persist after age and other background characteristics are controlled.
Path analyses suggest that treatment may reduce sex-risk behavior by
facilitating clients' disengagement from paid sex and raising their
perceived self-efficacy for risk reduction.
