Respondent-driven sampling was used simultaneously at two sites in Estonia (the capital Tallinn, and the second-largest city of Ida-Virumaa County, Kohtla-Jarve). The research tool was an interviewer-administered survey. Biological samples were collected for HIV testing. Participants were categorised into three groups based on HIV testing results and self-report on HIV serostatus: HIV-negative (n=133); HIV-positive unaware of their serostatus (n=75); and HIV-positive aware of their serostatus (n=168). In total, 65% of the participants tested positive for HIV. Of those 69% were aware of their positive serostatus. HIV-positive IDUs aware of their serostatus exhibited more risk behaviours than their HIV-positive counterparts unaware of their serostatus or HIV-negative IDUs. Effective prevention of HIV among IDUs should therefore, include programmes to reduce high-risk sexual and drug use behaviours at the public health scale and enhanced prevention efforts focusing on HIV-infected individuals.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":2.995732273553991,"endowment":2.995732273553991,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"20024741","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W1987455384","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"FIC NIH HHS","grant_id":"R01 TW006990","title":null}],"total_grants":1,"fwci":0.9051,"citation_percentile":0.75507658,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2012,"count":2},{"year":2013,"count":4},{"year":2014,"count":1},{"year":2015,"count":2},{"year":2016,"count":2},{"year":2017,"count":2},{"year":2018,"count":1},{"year":2020,"count":2}],"oa_status":"green","license":"other-oa","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://hal.science/hal-00545374","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://hal.science/hal-00545374","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/09540120802657522","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09540120802657522","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20024741","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/113412/","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"http://researchonline.lshtm.ac.uk/5043/","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://researchonline.lshtm.ac.uk/id/eprint/60112/","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"http://hdl.handle.net/2262/47150","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["HIV, Drug Use, Sexual Risk","HIV/AIDS Research and Interventions","HIV Research and Treatment","Adolescent","Adult","Cross-Sectional Studies","Estonia","Female","HIV Infections","HIV Seropositivity","Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice","Humans","Male","Patient Acceptance of Health Care","Risk-Taking","Sexual Behavior","Substance Abuse, Intravenous","Young Adult"],"mesh_terms":["Adolescent","Adult","Cross-Sectional Studies","Estonia","Female","HIV Seropositivity","Humans","Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice","Male","Patient Acceptance of Health Care","Risk-Taking","Sexual Behavior","HIV Infections","Substance Abuse, Intravenous","Young Adult"],"keywords":["Serostatus","Medicine","Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)","Environmental health","Respondent","Demography","Family medicine","Viral load"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Good health and well-being"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-07-28T12:54:01.748848Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
