The sexual life style, drug habit and socio-demographic status of 253 male hospitalized drug addicts were investigated. This study was conducted during the period June 1997 to July 1998, and each case was selected by the random sampling method. The research instrument was an interviewer-administered questionnaire, the sexual habits, number and quality of sex partners, use of condoms, sexually transmitted diseases, etc., were considered as indicators of the sexual life style of the drug addicts. Eighty-eight percent (n=233) of the addicts were heterosexual. Bisexuality was found only in 7% (n=18) of the addicts. Eighty-seven percent (n=240) of the addicts have multiple sex partners of either commercial or residential category. Most of the drug addicts (72%,n=181) did not use condoms. Fifty-seven percent (n=145) of the addicts were observed to have sexual diseases. As indicators of a drug habit, starting drug, choice of drug, period of addiction, sharing of needles, etc., were included. Cannabis was the starting substance for 59% (n=149) of the addicts. Heroin was the drug of choice for 60% (n=157) addicts. A single drug was taken only by 8% (n=20) of the addicts and the remaining 92% (n=233) took multiple drugs. The drug addicts (n=97) who used mostly injection (87%,n=84) shared needles. Education, occupation, income, age, marital status, influencing factors for addiction were considered as socio-demographic characteristics. Young adults (79%,n=199), secondary educated (46%,n=116), low-mid income (60%,n=150), businessmen (46%,n=150) and married (60%,n=151) people were found highly involved in addiction. Self-curiosity and a friend's incitement were revealed as the most important influencing factors for taking drugs.
