  abstract = {{P}eople who inject drugs ({PWID}) are a dominant risk group afflicted by blood-borne viruses, mental health disorders, and social precariousness. {R}isk reduction interventions are administered to {PWID} regardless of their characteristics or specific risks. {T}he objective of this cross-sectional analysis was to empirically identify profiles of {PWID} regarding their drug use, risk behaviors, and mental health in order to tailor adapted interventions taking into account limited access to comprehensive care in middle-income countries. {PWID} were recruited using respondent-driven sampling. {PWID} with urine testing positive for heroin or methamphetamine and manifesting recent skin injection marks were enrolled. {C}lassification of participants was based on drug use, injection, risky sexual behavior, and mental health data. {T}his was subjected to multiple correspondence analysis followed by hierarchical cluster analysis combined with -means methodology. {F}rom {O}ctober 2016 to {J}anuary 2017, 1490 participants were recruited of which 1383 were eligible and enrolled. {HCV} prevalence was 70.5% and {HIV} prevalence 29.4%. {T}he cluster analysis identified five distinct profiles: profile 1: recent injection practices and high alcohol consumption, profile 2: at-risk injection and sexual behaviors with precarious situations, profile 3: no sexual activity and older age, profile 4: frequent injections with high methamphetamine use, and profile 5: stable partnerships and less frequent injections. {O}ur study has identified profiles of {PWID} at particularly high risks, and they should thus be targeted for interventions tailored to their specific risks},
