Correlates of trichomoniasis among female sex workers who inject drugs in two Mexico-US border cities.

This paper evaluates correlates of trichomoniasis among female sex workers who inject drugs (FSWIDs) in two Mexico-US border cities. HIV-negative FSWIDs aged 18 years or older were enrolled in a study between 2008 and 2010 in Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez (Cd.), Mexico.

Drugs, discipline and death: Causes and predictors of mortality among people who inject drugs in Tijuana, 2011-2018.

Background: People who inject drugs (PWID) experience multiple risk factors for mortality; yet, we know little about causes of death among PWID in Tijuana, Mexico, an area with high levels of injecting and changes in policy/law enforcement responses to substance use. This study examines rates, causes, and predictors of mortality among Tijuana PWID.

Methods: Data come from a community-based cohort of PWID aged ≥18 who injected drugs in the past month.
