Résumé
Cette étude visait à déterminer dans quels contextes les jeunes de la rue qui s’injectent des drogues « partagent » des matériels d’injection. Nous avons mené des entrevues en profondeur auprès de 24 jeunes (15 à 22 ans) recrutés avec l’aide d’organismes communautaires et par la technique de « snowballing ». Au moment de la première injection, ces jeunes sont peu préoccupés par les risques d’infection et s’inquiètent davantage du risque de développer une dépendance. Cependant, ceux qui persistent sont conscients des risques associés au « partage » de seringues et considèrent qu’il s’agit d’une pratique à éviter dans une ville où les programmes de prévention fournissent l’accès gratuit aux seringues. Ce n’est toutefois pas le cas pour les autres matériels d’injection. Les contextes de vulnérabilité par rapport au « partage » se constituent au carrefour de plusieurs facteurs qui sont à la fois d’ordre individuel et social. Certains moments critiques dans la trajectoire de vie des jeunes par rapport à la consommation de drogues et à la vie dans la rue ainsi qu’un degré élevé d’intimité entre partenaires d’injection les fragilisent pour ce qui est des pratiques non sécuritaires.
Abstract
The goal of this study was to identify the contexts in which street youth who inject drugs share their injection equipment. In-depth interviews were conducted among youth recruited through community groups and utilizing a «snowballing» technique. We interviewed 24 youth (aged 15 to 22 years). At the time of their first injection, the youth are not very concerned with the risks of infection but worry more about developing an addiction. However, youth who continue to inject are aware of the risks associated with needle sharing and consider that, in a city where prevention programs provide free access to syringes, this practice should be avoided. This is not the case for other injection equipment. Contexts of vulnerability associated with sharing originate when personal and social factors intersect. Certain critical moments in a youth’s life related to drug consumption and living in the streets, as well as the high level of intimacy among injection partners make youth more vulnerable to unsafe practices.
Resumen
Este estudio pretendía identificar los contextos en los cuales el compartimiento del material de inyección se efectúa entre los jóvenes de la calle que se inyectan drogas. Entrevistas en profundidad han sido realizadas acerca de jóvenes reclutados a partir de organismos comunitarios y por la técnica de « snowballing ». Hemos interrogado 24 jóvenes (de 15 a 22 años). En el momento de la primera inyección se preocupan poco de los riesgos de infección, pero se inquietan sobre todo del riesgo de desarrollar una dependencia. Sin embargo, los jóvenes que persisten en la inyección están concientes de los riesgosd asociados al hecho de compartir las jeringas, y consideran que se trata de una práctica que se debe evitar en una ciudad dónde los programas de prevención procuran acceso gratis a las jeringas. No es el caso para los otros materiales de inyección. Los contextos de vulnerabilidad por respeto al hecho de compartir éste material, se constituyen en la encrucijada de varios factores a la vez de orden individual y social. Ciertos momentos críticos en la trayectoria de vida de los jóvenes en miras de su consumo de drogas y de su vida en la calle, así como un grado elevado de intimidad entre « compañeros de inyección » fragilizan a los jóvenes por respecto a prácticas poco seguras.
