Syringe sharing among people who inject drugs in Tijuana: before and after the Global Fund
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Resumen
Objetivo. Probamos la hipótesis de un mayor acceso a los PIJ y un menor uso receptivo de jeringas compartidas entre las PID en Tijuana durante el período de financiamiento del FM en comparación con el periodo anterior y posterior al FM.
Método. Usando datos de un estudio de cohorte de PID en Tijuana (03/2011-10/2015), implementamos un análisis de regresión segmentado para investigar cambios en la probabilidad de acceso a las PIJ, la dificultad para encontrar jeringas estériles y el uso receptivo de jeringas compartidas sobre los periodos pre-, durante y post-FM.
Resultados. Identificamos un aumento en la probabilidad de acceso a PIJ (+.07) y una disminución en el uso de jeringas compartidas (-.23) justo después del inicio del FM, ambos significativos, que se sostuvieron durante el período del FM. Después del retiro del FM, identificamos una disminución en el acceso a PIJ (-.05) y un aumento en el uso de jeringas compartidas (+.02), ambos también significativos.
Discusión y conclusión. Esfuerzos coordinados con las autoridades locales son necesarios para garantizar una mayor cobertura de los programas de reducción del daño, independientemente de financiamientos externos, para prevenir reincidir en las conductas de riesgo para el VIH en PID.
