Book Description
This volume addresses the interface of two major national problems: the epidemic of HIV-AIDS and the widespread use of illegal injection drugs. Should communities have the option of giving drug users sterile needles or bleach for cleaning needs in order to reduce the spread of HIV? Does needle distribution worsen the drug problem, as opponents of such programs argue? Do they reduce the spread of other serious diseases, such as hepatitis? Do they result in more used needles being carelessly discarded in the community? The panel takes a critical look at the available data on needle exchange and bleach distribution programs, reaches conclusions about their efficacy, and offers concrete recommendations for public policy to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS. The book includes current knowledge about the epidemiologies of HIV/AIDS and injection drug use; characteristics of needle exchange and bleach distribution programs and views on those programs from diverse community groups; and a discussion of laws designed to control possession of needles, their impact on needle sharing among injection drug users, and their implications for needle exchange programs.

Book Description
There is much that is right and pertinent about this volume, which is the eightieth in the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Research monograph series, but the title is misleading. The real story presented here is about how to prevent the spread of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) The title should be "The Relationship Between HIV Infection (AIDS) and Needle Sharing Practices Among Intravenous Drug Abusers." This book is based upon papers and discussion from a technical review which took place in May 1987, sponsored by the Division of Clinical Research, NIDA, but it was not printed until a year later and became available in early 1989.
