particu<strong>la</strong>rly for male IDUs, there is more instability (mixing across<br />

occasions) betwe<strong>en</strong> IDU and non-IDU partners. Homosexual contact<br />

accounted for more than one in t<strong>en</strong> of contacts for both males and<br />

females, but bisexuality of partners was not recognized by any<br />

respond<strong>en</strong>t, suggesting that it is either not discussed or not considered<br />

an option, and that it may have limited use as a risk concept in HIV<br />

risk reduction campaigns, at least for IDUs. These <strong>la</strong>tter points also<br />

have major implications for spread of HIV beyond the commonly<br />

recognized transmission groups in Western societies.<br />
