The high HIV-1 prevalence in drug users and their frequent sexual mixing with the non-drug-using population suggests that preventive interventions for reduction of high-risk drug taking and sexual activities are urgently needed in these populations. Interventions through public sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinics are unlikely to have much impact, as only 16% of IDUs with an STI attended a public STI clinic.

“…Joseph et al (1987), using data from the same sample, replicated the Emmons et al crosssectional study but found that a longitudinal analysis of the data indicated that knowledge of AIDS risk was not significantly related to any 1 of 6 measures of risk behaviors change over time. Ginzburg et al (1986) surveyed more than 1,000 intravenous drug users (IVDUs) from 10 drug treatment programs in New Jersey. Eighty-nine percent correctly identified IVDU as a risk group, and 87% knew that the virus was spread by sharing needles.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a nurse's counseling intervention on high-risk sexual behaviors of HIV-positive patients and to explore the relationship of gender, race, age, and education to high-risk sexual behaviors. A convenience sample of 20 adults who were newly diagnosed with HIV and were being treated at an inner-city out-patient clinic was used. Subjects were administered a questionnaire to determine their precounseling AIDS knowledge and precounseling sexual behaviors. A registered nurse then counseled them about safe-sex practices. After 2-3 months the questionnaire was readministered to determine the effects of counseling on AIDS knowledge and high-risk sexual behaviors. Although statistical analysis indicated a significant main effect for change in high-risk sexual behaviors after counseling, there were no significant relationships among change and the individual demographic variables of age, gender, race, and education. Pretest knowledge was not found to influence pretest behavior, nor was posttest knowledge found to affect posttest behavior. Paired t tests indicated a significant change in high-risk sexual behavior scores after counseling but no significant change in knowledge scores.

“…Furthermore, about a third incorrectly believed that those infected with HIV necessarily show signs and symptoms of infection. Finally, slightly more than half were aware that HIV could be transmitted sexually or perinatally (Ginzburg et al 1986).…”
