TI  - High HIV Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors Among Female Sexual Partners of 
      Male Injection Drug Users (MWID) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

AB  - Injection drug use is a major factor in acquiring and transmitting HIV in 
      Vietnam. This analysis aims to present estimates of HIV infection and factors 
      associated with HIV infection among female sex partners (FSP) of MWID in Ho Chi 
      Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam. Cross-sectional surveys were conducted in 2011 and 
      2013 among males who inject drugs (MWID) who then referred their FSP for a 
      behavioral and biologic survey. In total, 445 MWID and FSPs were enrolled. HIV 
      prevalence among MWID was 50 and 35 % among FSPs. Among FSPs, 60.3 % reported 
      ever using illegal drugs and among those, 72.7 % reported ever injecting illicit 
      drugs. Among FSP, injection drug for >1 year [adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR), 95 % CI 
      2.94, 1.19-7.26), p value = <0.001] and having a male partner infected with HIV 
      [(aOR 3.35: 1.97-5.69), p value = <0.001] were associated with HIV infection. The 
      prevalence of HIV infection is high among FSP of MWID in HCMC and is highly 
      associated with the injection drug use behavior of the FSP. Harm-reduction 
      intervention programs that focus on the MWID-FSP couple or directly on the FSPs 
      are required.
