It has been pointed out that HIV positive patients with a history of drug misuse are less likely to undergo antiretroviral therapy (ART) than those who belong to other categories of transmission.1,2 Moreover, inadequate use of ART in injecting drug users (IDUs) is controversial because of the risk of parenteral and/or sexual transmission of drug resistant HIV variants.3 The aim of this study was to describe the frequency of use and cessation of antiretroviral regimens over a period characterised by the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in Spain. ### Patients Cross sectional study in HIV positive intravenous heroin misusers consecutively referred to detoxification in a tertiary hospital in metropolitan Barcelona between April 1997 and March 2000.
