Percentage of HIV/HCV co-infected individuals with or without dependence. The percentage of alcohol (A), cocaine (B), and heroin (C) dependent and non-dependent individuals is stratified by hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and HIV/HCV co-infection. The number of alcohol dependent individuals was found to be significantly lower among HCV/HIV co-infected individuals (χ2=6.11, p<0.01) while the number of cocaine dependent individuals was significantly greater among HIV/HCV co-infected individuals than in HCV mono-infected individuals (χ²=5.46, p<0.02). No association was found for heroin dependent individuals. Only individuals with complete information on the Kreek-McHugh-Schluger-Kellogg (KMSK) scale are shown in the figure.
