thereby to provide the scientific basis for promoting and perfecting the prevention work more accurately in a larger range. Methods:
The blood samples of 423 new drug users in Dali Detoxification Center from January 2015 to June 2015 were collected to detect the

found that 96.3%(79/82)of the 82 HIV positive had infected with HCV. Multiple factor analysis indicated that the prevalence of HIV
and HCV among drug users were positively related to drug using time, injection drug use, sharing needles. In addition, HCV infection
was associated positively with the age of drug users and the times and quantity of drug addicts using per day. Conclusion: All sorts of
high risk behavior associated with HIV and HCV infection result in the high HIV and HCV prevalence among drug users in Dali, which
