Abstract
The injecting of illicit drugs frequently involves the sharing of injection equipment and a risk of HIV transmission. Injecting drug use at any time since 1980 should be considered a high-risk activity and users should be advised to have HIV testing. Recognition of this important lifestyle clue is more likely to occur if the doctor has evolved a practical approach to the possibility of illicit drug use.
