Drug for Gay Drug Treatment and Bi-Sexuals
Of the 632 clients, 478 (76%) completed an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire concerning drug use, HIV-transmission risk behaviors, and attitudes regarding HIV prevention. Of the clients who completed the questionnaire, 442 (92%) provided drug-use information. Of these, 182 (41%) indicated they had used IV drugs at some time in the past, and 129 (29%) indicated they had used IV drugs in the past year. The median age of the IV-drug users (IVDUs) was 31 years (range: 12-72 years), and their median addiction treatment San Francisco level was 12th grade (range: 4-16 years of school). Of the 174 for whom gender was known, 131 (75%) were male. Of the 169 for whom race was known, 103 (61%) were white, 63 (37%) were black, and three (2%) were other races. Sexual preference was known for 163 IVDUs: 150 (92%) were heterosexual and 13 (8%; nine males and four females) were homosexual/bisexual. Drug use was reported by the nine HIV-positive persons: seven indicated IV-drug use as their only risk behavior, one indicated a history of IV-drug use and bisexuality, and one indicated a history of non-IV cocaine use.
