Intravenous Drug Users (IDU)
IDUs are at increased rate for HIV. There are a number of prevention programs that are underway and the incidence rates of IDU-related HIV infection are decreasing. 
This group is still a high-risk population.
Documents pertaining to IDUs located during the HIV prevention literature survey are:
