Ninety-two substance abusers were surveyed about AIDS-related risk behaviors. The questionnaire administered elicited information on demographics, sexual practices, substance abuse, and risk behaviors involving the use of needles. Results indicated an appropriate base of prevention knowledge and patients' efforts to modify vulnerability to HIV exposure. Nevertheless, patients continue to engage in behaviors resulting in HIV exposure and transmission.
