Overview

Cross-sectional analysis highlights the weak association between needle sharing and HIV/HCV coinfection among IDUs, suggesting a need for focused interventions.

Key Points

  • HIV/HCV coinfection prevalence among IDUs in West Java was found to be 6.8%.
  • Needle sharing behavior showed no significant association with HIV/HCV coinfection (APR: 0.77; p-value = 0.424).
  • Cox regression analysis identified a history of incarceration as a significant risk factor (APR: 3.29; p-value < 0.001).
  • Health interventions should focus on IDUs with a history of incarceration to improve health outcomes.
