Notes: Cell contents are the percentage of IDUs engaging in the risk behavior in the past 6 months. IDUs in Beijing were not asked about distributive sharing with primary sex partners and close friends. Missing data for other sites and behaviors ranged from 0–10% but was less than 1% in 75% of the 118 cells above.
