Spread Of Infection

This study examined AIDS knowledge and HIV-related risk behaviors among injection drug users admitted for treatment at the Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission (AADAC). Clients participating in the study showed a high level of knowledge concerning basic AIDS facts, and many had responded to the threat of AIDS by initiating changes in their needle-sharing behavior and to a lesser extent, in their sexual behavior. However, inconsistencies between risk recognition and risk reduction were observed; a substantial number of clients continued to engage in behaviors that increased their likelihood of infection. Findings suggest Canadian injection drug users are similar to their European and U.S. counterparts in terms of risky drug practices and sexual activities, illustrating the potential for the rapid spread of infection within this group.

This article reviews research on AIDS education targeted to injection drug users in the United States. Findings provide a context for discussing substantive and methodological issues to be addressed in “second generation” research. Substantive issues include: situational and contextual factors affecting risk, patterns of relapse to high-risk behavior and relapse prevention strategies, the importance of isolating the effects of intervention components, outcomes of HIV antibody testing/counseling, and social policy alternatives for AIDS prevention. Methodological issues include: the role of experimental research, the value of combining ethnographic and survey methods, methods appropriate for research on subjective aspects of risk, and alternatives to risk measures based on self reports.
