HIV seroprevalence in intravenous drug users: Los Angeles, California, 1986.

To estimate the seroprevalence and investigate risk behaviors for HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection in intravenous drug users in Los Angeles County, a stratified, random sample of 790 clients, enrolled in either methadone maintenance or detoxification programs, were studied. Thirteen study participants (1.8 per cent) were seropositive; of these, five were homosexual/bisexual males and three were female prostitutes. Ninety-five per cent of all participants reported sharing needles. Risk reduction education efforts must be expanded before the HIV antibody prevalence rate increases.[1]
