Disease relevance of Needle Sharing

  • HIV infections were associated with injection of cocaine, more frequent injection, needle sharing, and injection in a shooting galley [1].
 

Psychiatry related information on Needle Sharing

  • Men had higher rates of lifetime drug-related risk behaviors: needle use (23.1 percent compared with 12.5 percent), needle sharing (17.6 percent compared with 7.7 percent), and crack cocaine use (45.2 percent compared with 30.8 percent) [2].
 

High impact information on Needle Sharing

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Needle Sharing

  • Observational studies of methadone treatment demonstrate decreases in opioid use, opioid injection, needle-sharing and lower rates of HIV prevalence and incidence [8].
  • Parenteral transmission via needle sharing in HIV coinfected individuals in Spain is an epidemiologically significant new mode of transmission [9].
 

Associations of Needle Sharing with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Needle Sharing

  • From the ASI data we were unable to find any statistically significant factor that was associated with needle sharing (n = 26/42, 61%) or sharing drug mixture/filter (n = 25/42, 59%) [11].
  • Increasing levels of alcohol ingestion were associated with greater RAB drug risk scores and greater needle sharing [12].
  • Results indicated that students held considerable misconceptions about HIV transmission by casual contact and needle sharing as well as stigmatizing attitudes about injection drug use, homosexuality and HIV-positive women who bear children [13].
