AB OBJECTIVE: To examine potential changes in risk factors for HIV from a
time shortly after rapid transmission to a time after extended stable
seroprevalence among injecting drug users in Bangkok. METHODS: Risk
behavior-HIV seroprevalence studies were conducted among IDUs recruited
from drug abuse treatment programs in Bangkok in 1989 (n = 601) and 1993
(n = 200). The WHO Multi-site Study questionnaire was used and HIV
testing included ELISA and Western blot confirmation for both surveys.
RESULTS: Seroprevalence among in-treatment IDUs in Bangkok did not
change, 39% in 1989 vs. 42% in 1993. In 1989, sharing injection
equipment with 2+ persons in the 6 months prior to interview (AOR =
1.53), and having been incarcerated (AOR = 2.03) were associated with
being HIV+. In 1993, duration of drug injection (AOR = 1.06 per yr.) was
associated, and the association with incarceration (AOR = 2.09)
remained. CONCLUSIONS: The change from recent injection risk behavior to
duration of time at risk probably reflects longer times since infection.
Additional attention is needed to prevent HIV infection among IDUs who
become incarcerated.
