Collected data were analyzed using logistic regression test. The strength of the effect expressed in odds ratios and marginal effect is used for the interpretation.

Results: Individuals who work have marginal effect of -0,2422 (CI, -0,445 to -0,392) smaller than individuals who do not work, income has marginal effect of 0,375 (CI, 0,0928 to 0,657) for income under Rp.500.000,00. Individual’s income between Rp.1.500.000,00-Rp.2.000.000,00 has value of marginal effect is 0,236 (CI, 0,015 to 0,456), and income between Rp.2.000.000,00-Rp.2.500.000,00 has marginal effect of 0,261 (CI, 0,0025 to 0,52). Duration of use syringe has marginal effect of 0,235 (CI, 0,121 to 0,349) higher compared to the duration of use under 12 years.
