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.
静脉注射吸毒作为艾滋病毒和艾滋病的一种传播途径，其重要性已根据美国最近收集的流行病学数据得到证实。静脉注射吸毒者（总数接近100万）中的血清阳性率估计超过20%。除了直接感染外，还可以从这些数据评估性伴侣及其后代的感染风险。美国国家药物滥用研究所针对这一特定目标人群制定的预防艾滋病方案，将从包括基础研究、治疗和预防在内的各个方面进行介绍。
