The expanding AIDS epidemic
among people who inject drugs –
3
Before the advent of the new AIDS medicines, a person would become infected with HIV through injecting drug use, perhaps 10 years later progress to full-blown AIDS,(1) and then, within a year or two, die. The powerful AIDS medicines that have come on the market since 1995 have happily changed all that. New people are still becoming infected with HIV. But deaths are down and those diagnosed with AIDS are living longer. |
