This study aimed to explore the potential of bridging the HIV infection from injection drug users (IDUs) through sexual networks to the general population in Zanzibar. Seek to understand the interplay between injection drug use, sexual behavior and the epidemiological shift in the transmission of HIV infection between key population and the general population, thereby contribute to reducing HIV epidemics in both sides.
Objective: The role of sexual networks in bridging HIV infection between injection drug users to the general population in Zanzibar.
Methods: Quantitative cross-sectional study design was used whereby data was collected from1308 adults of all sex with age ranging from 18 to 64 years who are injection drug in Zanzibar. The data collection method was by the use of self–administered questionnaires.
Results: Participants who had sexual debut below 18year were had a high risk in sexual network to the general population OR= (95% CI) 1.353(0.999, 1.833) p
