The ANRS-Coquelicot survey was designed to measure the prevalence of HIV and HCV infection among drug users and to examine determinants of at-risk behaviors.

“…needleexchange and methadone substitution programs) decreased both incidence and prevalence of HCV among IDUs during the 1990s, their impact has been small in most countries [127,129,[137][138][139]. Indeed, with a few exceptions [140], HCV transmission among IDUs remains uncontrolled, with prevalence increasing among young IDUs, and incidence rates ranging between 11 and 42 per 100 person/years [120,132,141,142].…”

“…Prevalences over 60% are very common (the highest prevalence, >80%, corresponding to countries from the former Soviet Union). Prevalences below 40% have been reported in some regions of Belgium, Greece and the UK, as well as in Austria, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Finland, Hungary, Malta, the Netherlands and Slovenia [123,[128][129][130][131][132].…”

“…Desde hace varios años, el consumo de SPA se convirtió en un problema de salud pública (Becoña, 2002), no sólo por las consecuencias de su uso a nivel físico y mental, sino también por sus efectos a nivel social Del énfasis en la disminución del uso de SPA, a la necesidad de evitar la propagación de dichas enfermedades (Castaño, G., 2002;Jauffret-Roustide et al, 2006). Esta situación de salud pública sumada a la evaluación de las estrategias implementadas, fue llamada el fracaso de la "guerra contra las drogas" 1 (Translational Institute, 2008).…”
