Every tenth person is infected with HIV (9.3%), 8.5% have or have had syphilis, 1.7% hepatitis C, and 1.9% hepatitis B. The behavior of the respondents is characterized as: one in ten is involved in prostitution (5.6%) or used the services of people involved in prostitution (8.6%), one in three (26.8%) had sex with HIV-infected people whose the status is confirmed, and almost one in two had sex with a person whose HIV status the respondent was not sure of (42.9%). More than half of the study participants (53.4%) do not use protection during sex. Almost all additionally indicated that they had risky sexual contacts: with men (95.4%), and/or with women (17.2%), and/or with transgender people (4.4%). 14.4% use drugs, of which 2.3% inject and 11.7% non-inject, 2.3% inject and non-inject. 14.4% use drugs before and/or during sex.
