Sex workers' noncommercial male partners who inject drugs report higher-risk sexual behaviors

Sex Transm Dis. 2013 Oct;40(10):801-3. doi: 10.1097/OLQ.0000000000000016.

Abstract

Female sex workers are less likely to use condoms with noncommercial male partners than clients. We compare noncommercial male partners who do and do not inject drugs in Tijuana and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Sexual risk behaviors were more prevalent among injectors, who could promote HIV/sexually transmitted infection transmission in this region.
