| Abstract:A brief narrative description of the journal article, document, or resource. | In
2002, we implemented a 4-year HIV prevention intervention for injection
drug users (IDUs) in Lang Son Province, Vietnam, and Ning Ming County,
Guangxi Province, China, a cross-border region seriously affected by
inter-twined epidemics of heroin injection and HIV infection. The
interventions involve peer education on HIV risk reduction and
provision of new needles/syringes through direct distribution and
pharmacy vouchers. We consider this to be a structural intervention in
which risk reduction information and sterile injection equipment are
diffused through the IDU populations and not limited to those who
actually interact with peer educators. The evaluation of structural
interventions poses complex methodological challenges. The evaluation
of our interventions relies primarily on cross-sectional surveys
(interviews and HIV testing) of samples of IDUs selected using a
combination of targeted cluster and snowball methods. We consider this
to be an appropriate, albeit imperfect, design given the study context.
This paper presents analyses of data from the IDU surveys conducted
just prior to implementation of the interventions and 24 months
thereafter. The cross-border interventions have reached large
proportions of the IDUs in the project sites, drug-related HIV risk
behaviors have declined in frequency, and HIV prevalence among IDUs has
been stable in China and declined in Vietnam over the 24 months since
the interventions were implemented. Attribution of these positive
trends to the interventions must be qualified in light of possible
sampling biases and the absence of control groups. However, we believe
that the structural interventions implemented by the cross-border
project have played a role in stabilizing HIV prevalence among IDUs two
years after they were initiated. Evidence of further diffusion of the
interventions among IDUs and continued stability or decline of HIV
prevalence would strengthen this case. (Contains 6 tables and 1 figure.) |
