Public health interventions to prevent infectious complications of IDU have primarily focused on communicable diseases, such as HIV and viral hepatitis. We assessed patients\u2019 knowledge of IE in relation to IDU practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>From 2021 to 2022, we conducted in-person semi-structured interviews (SSIs) with 16 adults hospitalized with IDU-related IE at an academic medical center in North Carolina. SSIs explored participants\u2019 knowledge and experience of IE and IDU practices. The SSIs were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and thematically coded.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We identified 4 primary themes: limited knowledge of IE; nonspecific IE symptoms; injection behavior and infection prevention; and knowledge of other IDU-related infections, such as hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HIV. Most patients reported little or no knowledge of IE before hospitalization despite previously having soft tissue infections, such as skin abscesses. Presentations were heterogeneous, with many patients not recognizing their symptoms as IE, and often delaying seeking care. In contrast to limited information about IE, all patients reported prior testing for HIV and HCV. While many expressed the importance of not reusing injection equipment, many patients reported reusing injection equipment nonetheless, and several specifically reported that they take no dedicated precautions to prevent infections.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings suggest prior to hospitalizations, knowledge of IE, its symptoms, and prevention is limited among persons who inject drugs who acquire IE.
