Study of HIV and associated factors among people who inject drugs

Summary

Latvia’s Centre for Disease Prevention and Control is commissioning a study of HIV and associated infections, knowledge, health-related factors and risk behaviours among people who inject drugs. The study will survey and conduct rapid testing with at least 450 people aged 18 or over who have injected drugs in the previous two weeks, using respondent-driven sampling, in Riga and the surrounding region. The work is divided into two stages and is to be completed within 10 months; deliverables include the research instruments, fieldwork report, cleaned and weighted data, EUDA standard tables and technical tables.
