摘要: AbstractObjective: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) incidence has been increasing among young injection drug users (IDUs). This analysis examined whether the emerging practice of prescription opioid (PO) is associated with self-reported HCV IDUs. Methods: Young IDUs (n = 162) aged 18–25-years-old who indicated recent misuse drugs were sampled in New York and Los Angeles during 2009–2011. Participants reported lifetime PO history results from their most test as well demographic characteristics use. Bivariate analyses relationships between covariates both positivity. Poisson regression associations injection, positivity, significant covariates. Results: A majority (72.2%) 30.9% being positive. Lifetime injectors nearly three times more likely to report positive than non-PO injector...
