Resumen

Spain is the country of Western Europe with the highest prevalence of HIV among people who inject drugs (PWID)1. This situation requires tools to assess the level of risk of contagion to improve interventions. The Risk Assessment Battery (RAB) is a self-administered scale designed to provide a fast method of assessing risk of HIV transmission. The 45 items of the RAB are organized in two subscales (drug risk items and sex behaviour items) or a global dimension.
