AB A community-derived sample of 392 heroin users and 145 cocaine users
were interviewed about their drug use and sexual behaviour, with
(optional) collection of saliva specimen for linked anonymous HIV/HBV
testing. The heroin sample was stratified (50/50) across current
treatment and non-treatment status. For cocaine users 80% were not in
current contact with any treatment. Overall levels of sexual activity
were several times higher than reported in recent national surveys.
Last-year prevalence of heterosexual anal intercourse was 23% and 20%
for heroin-using males and females respectively (last-month figures--12%
and 10%); and 23% and 15% for cocaine-using males and females
respectively (last-month figures--7% and 9%). Two-thirds of subjects
rarely or never used condoms during heterosexual anal intercourse. For
females, receptive anal intercourse was positively related to a history
of sex-for-money activity, high scores of severity of dependence, and
injecting as a current route of use.
