摘要：

We investigated the relation of drug use and sexual behaviour to hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among 80 intravenous drug users (IVDU) attending a methadone treatment program in Rome. Antibodies to HCV (anti-HCV) were found in 54/80 of IVDU (67.5% Presence of anti-HCV was associated with duration of intravenous drug use and frequency of needle sharing (p<0.003 and p=0.02, respectively, by chi-square for trend). No association was found between sexual behaviour and anti-HCV prevalence. © 1990 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
