Final multivariate logistic model estimates measuring associations between network characteristics and high-risk behaviors associated with HIV transmission for male and female IDU in St. Petersburg, Russia

Network characteristic High risk injection practices Not tested for HIV
Males

  < 3 1.0 1.0
 Stranger present
  Yes 2.37 (0.80, 7.00)b 16.67 (1.89, 147.12)*a

a

Models adjusted for duration of drug use

b

Models adjusted for methamphetamine use

c

NML no maximum likelihood estimate calculated due to quasi-complete separation of data points (all females who had injected in the presence of a stranger had engaged in high-risk injection practices)
