| Opplysninger | Drug injectors sharing needles, it is widely thought, are the ones most likely to generate further spread of the virus to the wider non-drug injecting population through sexual intercourse. In this book the authors argue that such fear is rooted in a profound ignorance of drug injectors. They describe the culture that drug injectors share, and place their behaviour in relation to HIV within that culture. Drug injectors and the worldwide epidemic of the HIV infection. The social context: Glasgow. Needle and syringe sharing. Drug injectors and the heterosexual spread of HIV infection. Prostitution, drugs and HIV-related risk behaviour. Living with the virus: drug injectors' experiences of HIV.
