Abstract
Needle sharing and sexual behaviour were studied in 396 intraveinous drug addicts (IVDA). Only 20% stopped needle sharing and used condoms. They were 6% before 1990 and 23% after. Both preventive measures were adopted by 32 of 78 HIV positive and only 25 of 210 HIV negative IVDA. Attention is drawn on the need for specific measures for prevention of heterosexual transmission of HIV infection by IVDA.
