AB The importance of intravenous drug-abuse as a vehicle of HIV and AIDS is
evidenced on the basis of recent epidemiological data gathered in the
USA. The rate of seropositivity among intravenous drug-addicts (whose
total number i is close to one million) is estimated at more than 20
percent. Besides direct contamination, risks of contamination of sexual
partners and their offspring can be evaluated from these figures. The
programme developed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse against
AIDS, aimed at that particular target population, is presented in its
various aspects, including basic research, treatment and prevention.
