In three Texas cities illicit drug injectors not in treatment were located by outreach and interviewed with a standard questionnaire. In all the cities the drug injectors were predominantly undereducated and unemployed young men from minority groups. In Dallas and Houston most were Black, while in San Antonio most were Hispanic. The most frequently reported primary drug in Houston was cocaine, but in Dallas and San Antonio it was heroin. The high needle risk for AIDS and the low rates of positive HIV antibody tests in these samples present a special window of opportunity for prevention of AIDS. |
