Outside of Africa, the Joint United Nations Program on AIDS estimates that one-third of HIV infections are among injecting drug users (IDUs). HIV prevention and treatment for drug users, however, remain extremely limited.

This OSI report provides a snapshot of some key developments in HIV prevention, policy and treatment for IDUs in developing/transitional countries with injection-driven epidemics, and includes overviews on such issues as substitution treatment availability, harm reduction in prisons and HIV treatment for IDUs.
