摘要: Using qualitative interviews conducted in 1999, we examine awareness and use of drug user treatment social service referrals, medical care, HIV testing provided by needle exchange programs (NEPs) among injectors who NEPs (N = 26) get their syringes from other sources 20). A four-category typology NEP knowledge emerges these interviews: “Active involvement”—use services; “Steppingstone”—no services but that specific are available; “Vague awareness”—nonspecific availability; “Unaware:—no the provision function NEPs. We describe patterns distribution respondents categories suggest policy implications.
