Summary
The HIV Risk-taking Behaviour Scale (HRBS) is a brief, 11 item questionnaire developed to measure the behaviour of intravenous drug users that puts them at risk of either contracting, or passing on, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Two predominant areas of concern exist in relation to the spread of HIV amongst this population and, via this route, to the broader community: needle use behaviour and sexual behaviour.
