PWID were predominantly male (92.5 %). An estimated 67.3 % engaged in at least one risky injection practice in a typical month. HIV prevalence…

We present data from operations research into the introduction of MC in Zambia, assessing informed consent (IC) procedures for adolescent MC clients. We administered a comprehension test among adult (n = 311) and adolescent (n = 115) clients at 10 clinics around Lusaka between the counselling and IC proces…
