چکیده
Since the advent of HIV epidemic in the early 1980s, the medical care of illicit drug users has become central to national and local public health planning. Drug users are at high risk for acquiring and transmitting HIV to their social network via needle sharing, trading sex for drugs, sexual relations with steady partners, and perinatally. The association between alcohol abuse and high-risk behaviors for acquiring AIDS has more recently been demonstrated by the finding of a substantial prevalence of HIV infection among clients of alcohol-addiction treatment programs.
