Resumo: This study aims to characterize the profile of male injecting drug users who have sex with other men (MSM IDUs) recruited through a cross-sectional multi-city survey (AjUDE-Brasil II Project) in six Brazilian cities, in 2000-2001. MSM IDUs were compared to other male IDUs using bivariate and multivariate procedures (logistic regression and answer tree analysis with the CHAID algorithm). Among the 709 male IDUs, 187 (26.4%) reported ever having had sex with other men, while only 37 reported sex with other men in the previous six months. MSM IDUs were more likely to be unemployed (OR = 2.3), to have injected tranquilizers (OR = 3.6), and to be HIV-seropositive (OR = 2.1), compared to other male IDUs. Male same-sex relations in this subgroup appear to be associated with strategies to finance drug consuming habits, including sex for drugs with occasional female partners or obtaining injection paraphernalia from occasional sex partners. Further studies should focus on this especially vulnerable subgroup of IDUs, due to the bidirectional and complex interrelationships between their drug injecting habits and sexual risk behaviors.

As características dos UDI/HSH foram comparadas às dos demais UDIs do sexo masculino por meio de análises bi e multivariadas (regressão logística e árvore de decisão utilizando algoritmo CHAID). Dos 709 homens UDIs, 187 (26,4%) relataram relação homossexual na vida, e 37 nos seis meses anteriores à entrevista. Entre os UDIs/HSH, o desemprego nos seis meses anteriores (OR = 2,3), o uso de tranqüilizantes injetáveis (OR = 3,6) e a soropositividade para o HIV (OR = 2,1) foram significativamente mais prevalentes, comparados aos demais UDIs. A relação HSH se mostrou associada ao financiamento da drogadicção: UDIs/ HSH relataram mais freqüentemente relações sexuais com mulheres em troca de drogas e obtiveram mais freqüentemente de seus parceiros sexuais equipamentos de injeção. O uso de drogas injetáveis está associado a práticas sexuais de risco de forma bidirecional e complexa, requerendo estudos adicionais do subgrupo particularmente vulnerável de UDI/HSH.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2006-04-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/2753Reports in Public Health; Vol. 22 No. 4 (2006): AprilCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 22 n. 4 (2006): Abril1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/2753/5534https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/2753/5535Ferreira, Aline DayrellCaiaffa, Waleska TeixeiraBastos, Francisco I.Mingoti, Sueli Aparecidainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:27:12Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/2753Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:03:12.150194Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
