Patterns and Trends of Drug Use in the San Francisco Bay Area
In December 2002, the author conducted a comprehensive review of indicators of use of illicit substances in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The former predominance of Blacks among users continues to ebb. Heroin use indicators consistently show a peak in 1999, followed by a sig…
Can HCV Be Prevented Among Injection Drug Users
The hepatitis-C virus (HCV) spreads rapidly among injection drug users (IDUs) because each act of sharing injection equipment carries a high risk of transmission.

For these three reasons, prevention campaigns that worked against the spread of HIV among gay men will be far less effective against the spread of HCV among …

Slight variations in the definition of AIDS, in the progression rate, and in reported seropositivity rates used as data in t…
