我是否会通过注射药物感染HIV？

是的。如果你使用曾被HIV阳性患者使用过的针头或注射工具（如炉具、棉花或水），你的感染HIV的风险非常高。

注射毒品、激素、类固醇或硅胶的人，如果与他人共享针头、注射器及其他注射工具，可能会感染HIV。因为这些针头和工具可能残留有他人的血液，而血液可以传播HIV。同样地，分享针头和注射工具还可能增加感染乙型和丙型肝炎的风险，因为这些病毒也是通过血液传播的。

另一个使注射毒品者更容易感染HIV（以及其他性传播疾病）的原因是，当人们在吸毒时，他们更可能进行不安全的性行为。

戒掉注射毒品和其他药物使用可以大大降低你感染HIV的几率。虽然你可能需要帮助来停止或减少使用毒品，但有很多可用的资源可以支持你。

如果你继续注射毒品，可以通过每次注射时仅使用全新、无菌的针头和注射工具来降低感染HIV的风险。绝对不要与他人共享针头或工具。想了解更多如何减少毒品使用感染HIV的风险，请参阅《如何预防通过毒品使用感染HIV》。

Can I get HIV from injecting drugs?

Yes. Your risk of getting HIV is very high if you use needles or other injection equipment (like cookers, cotton, or water) after someone with HIV has used them.

People who inject drugs, hormones, steroids, or silicone are at risk for getting HIV by sharing needles, syringes, and other injection equipment. The needles and equipment may have someone else’s blood in them, and blood can transmit HIV. Similarly, sharing needles and works increases the risk of contracting hepatitis B and C, as these infections are also transmitted through blood.

Another reason people who inject drugs can get HIV (and other sexually transmitted diseases) is that when people are high, they’re more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior.

Stopping injection and other drug use can greatly reduce your chances of getting HIV. You may need help to stop or reduce your drug use, but many resources are available to support you.

If you continue injecting drugs, you can lower your risk of getting HIV by using only new, sterile needles and works each time you inject. Never share needles or works. For more information on how to lower your risk, check out "How can I prevent getting HIV from drug use?"
