AB In two trials of a small-group AIDS prevention approach, 50 methadone
maintenance patients and 98 heroin abusers in outpatient detoxification
were randomly assigned to experimental or comparison conditions.
Experimental condition subjects received a 6-hour, small-group
intervention that aimed to improve their knowledge and attitudes about
AIDS, skills in syringe sterilization and condom use, and changing
high-risk needle use and sexual behaviors. Comparison subjects received
a set of written materials about AIDS. At posttest and 3-month
follow-ups, experimental condition subjects in both maintenance and
detoxification demonstrated greater knowledge of AIDS and risk reduction
practices and improved skill in demonstrating condom use. Although
outpatient detoxification subjects displayed considerably more risk
behaviors at study outset, the intervention's effect appeared to be more
robust in methadone maintenance patients. The relative lack of impact on
subjects' behaviors points out that more potent, sustained interventions
need to be developed to slow the spread of HIV among injecting drug
users.
