Native Americans are increasingly represented in the HIV/AIDS epidemic. However, the transmission mode of injecting drug use has seldom come under investigation for Native Americans even though increases in persons contracting HIV through injecting drug use are prevalent. Results suggest that Native American IDUs are at increased risk for HIV infection through drug injection. The presentation will provide attendees with needed information that will assist in targeting interventions to specific HIV risk behaviors, and the importance of focusing on Native American IDUs for HIV risk reduction.
