Gender Differences in HIV-Related Risk Behaviour Among a Sample of Glasgow Drug Injectors

Barnard, Marina A (1992) Gender Differences in HIV-Related Risk Behaviour Among a Sample of Glasgow Drug Injectors. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.

Abstract

The lives of drug injectors have most often been described as if they were uniformly experienced by men and women. Closer attention to the pattern, content and style of a drug injecting lifestyle reveals that gender and expectations of gender appropriate behaviour have a good deal of influence on the ways in which drug injecting is experienced. The mediating influence exerted by gender on injectors' lives is also evident in the HIV-related risk behaviour of men and women injectors.
