AB OBJECTIVE: To analyze the epidemiologic differences of HIV infection
between male and female intravenous drug users (IDUs). METHODS: 650 IDUs
consecutively admitted to a drug dependence unit from February 1987 to
October 1993. RESULTS: Age at admission: (25 yrs), length of addiction
(74 months) and the age at the beginning drug use (19 yrs) show no
differences between male and female IDUs. TABULAR DATA, SEE ABSTRACT
VOLUME. CONCLUSIONS: Female IDUs become HIV infected earlier than males,
at least for the first months of addiction. Differences in patterns of
sexual relationships and drug-using practices could play a role in the
higher risk of HIV infection among female IDUs.
