A variety of important medical problems, both non-infective and infective in nature, are associated with drug use. A number of micro-organisms are associated with the non-sterile nature of injection drug use (IDU) whilst a number of blood borne viruses, including retroviruses such as HIV, are easily transmitted to individuals involved in the sharing of injection equipment. Practitioners require knowledge of infection and non-infection related medical conditions associated with IDU since they may mimic each other.
各种重要的医学问题，无论其本质是非感染性还是感染性的，都与药物使用有关。许多微生物与注射吸毒（IDU）的非无菌性质相关，而包括逆转录病毒如HIV在内的一些血源病毒很容易传播给参与共用注射设备的个体。从业者需要了解与注射吸毒相关的感染性和非感染性医学状况，因为它们可能相互类似。
