Crack users are a critical group on which to focus, given their potential for both violence and HIV risk behavior. However, little is known about specific interpersonal acts of violence perpetrated by male and female crack users or the association of HIV risk behavior with interpersonal violence among male and female crack users. The purpose of this paper is to examine drug use and HIV risk behavior among three groups of crack users (those reporting no violence, those reporting a moderate rate of interpersonal violence, and those reporting a high rate of interpersonal violence) and to examine gender differences among crack users who are and are not involved in violence. Results indicate that violence is associated with higher HIV risk behavior and that there were no gender by violence group differences.
由于他们可能会产生暴力和HIV风险行为,因此,毒品裂解物用户是一个需要关注的重要群体。然而,很少有人知道男性和女性毒品裂解物用户所犯特定的人际暴力行为,以及HIV风险行为与男性和女性毒品裂解物用户之间的关联。本文的目的是研究三组毒品裂解物用户(那些没有报告暴力的人、报告中等人际暴力率的人和报告高人际暴力率的人)的药物使用和HIV风险行为,并研究参与暴力的毒品裂解物用户的性别差异和不参与暴力的毒品裂解物用户之间的性别差异。结果表明,暴力行为与更高的HIV风险行为有关,并且在暴力组别中没有性别差异。
