Table 3. Reported HIV risks by interview modes among MWID (N = 328).
Variables | FTT (N = 166) % (n) | ACASI (N = 162) % (n) | χ2 or t (p-value) | OR (95% CI) |

Had casual sex partners in past 2 months | 7.9 (5) | 26.4 (14) | 7.2 (0.03) | 3.7 (1.2–11.4) * |
Age first injected drugs [mean (std.)]a | 30.1 (0.5) | 27.6 (0.7) | 3.0 (0.003) | 0.96 (0.93–0.99) * |

Ever tested for HIV | 47.2 (76) | 36.0 (58) | 4.1 (0.04) | 1.6 (1.02–2.5) * |
Note: AOR = adjusted odds ratio, CI = confidence interval,
: significant at p<.05,
: significant at p<.01.
Age, education, and HIV status were adjusted for in the regression models looking at reported HIV risks among ACASI method vs. FTF interview method.
a significant levels were determined using t-test comparing 2 continuous variables.
