Résumé :

[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS HDR0xdHg. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objective : This study sought to determine whether health outcomes differed by gender in a cohort of African American, Hispanic American, and white drug users. Methods : The authors studied hospitalization rates and discharge diagnoses in the HERO Study, an ongoing prospective study of drug users that included HIV-positive and HIV-negative opiate users. The data are from 1996-2000, when highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) was available. Results : Women had higher rates of hospitalization than men independent of HIV status, and there was no association between ethnicity and hospitalization. Being a woman was an independent risk factor for HIV and non-HIV-related hospitalization. Conclusion : Health disparities between men and women extend to HIV.
