Young people who inject drugs in India have high HIV incidence and behavioural risk: a cross-sectional study.

CONCLUSIONS: Higher HIV incidence and engagement in risky behaviours among younger PWID compared to older PWID, coupled with low utilization of harm reduction services highlight the importance of targeting this population in HIV programming. Age-specific interventions focused on addressing the needs of young PWID are urgently needed to curb the HIV epidemic in this vulnerable population. PMID: 31116005 [PubMed - in process]
