Table 1. Reported behaviours among 1,404 Injecting Drug Users (IDUs) in six cities in Indonesia, 2007
Sixteen percent of IDUs reported sharing a needle (borrowed or lent) at last injection with a median of 2 persons. Twelve percent of IDUs injected with a previously used needle at last injection and thirteen percent used a public needle. The mean number of persons with whom respondents shared needles in the last week was 3.5 (95% CI 2.8 - 3.1) among IDUs injecting in parks compared with 2.9 (95% CI 3.2 - 4.1) among those injecting in other locations (p = 0.002). Nearly all injectors using previously used needles at last injection reported having cleaned the needle before injecting. Over 75% of respondents reported having obtained clean needles and syringes from an NSP in the prior week, receiving an average of five needles (median = 6.0). Twenty-six percent of IDUs always carried a needle in the last week; 907 (87.8%) of the 1,033 who did not carry a needle were afraid of being arrested by the police. Of the 1,404 IDUs, the majority (1,292) injected heroin in the last year, few injected amphetamines (74), methadone (15) and opium (22); 59.8% had used oral methamphetamines in the year prior to the survey. Around 50% of respondents reported having participated in detoxification programs in the last year and 55% in methadone programs.
