Manual to Reduce the Risk of HIV and Other Blood-Borne Infections in Drug Users

A guide for community-based HIV risk-reduction efforts targeting out-of-treatment drug users. The Model described here represents the synthesis of findings & best practicesÓ from two national multisite intervention programs, as well as from several smaller evaluations of outreach-based prevention strategies. This Model features community-based outreach as a primary vehicle for accessing out-of treatment drug users at risk & eliciting their commitment to HIV/AIDS risk reduction, followed by two sessions of risk-reduction counseling & education. The sessions are organized to include optional testing & pre- & post-test counseling for HIV & other blood-borne infections.Needle, Richard H. is the author of 'Manual to Reduce the Risk of HIV and Other Blood-Borne Infections in Drug Users' with ISBN 9780756714147 and ISBN 0756714141.
