PIP: 70% of AIDS victims are homosexuals and 20% are iv drug abusers. In Spain and Italy more than 50% of AIDS victims are drug abusers. According to the work group on AIDS in Portugal in January 1990 there were 348 cases diagnosed: 159 were homosexuals and bisexuals, 36 were drug addicts, 74 were heterosexuals, 19 were hemophiliacs, 17 had had blood transfusions, 1 was a mother-child infection, and 42 were unknown routes of infection. The typical profile of a drug addict includes a low threshold of frustration, irresponsibility, lack of remorse, and inability to follow a life plan. The work group on AIDS and WHO proposed the use of sterile syringes and condoms for drug addicts, however, practical implementation is difficult. A 1989 study in Buenos Aires showed that about 34% of drug addicts became HIV seropositive via the iv route. A 1989 prison population study indicated that 61% of 113 imprisoned drug addicts were seropositive. Preventive behavior modification is difficult to achieve in an isolated way. A global intervention strategy is needed for AIDS prevention involving all professionals combating its spread in order to break the cycle of self-destruction and aggression of drug addicts who are ostracized, rejected, and punished by society.^ieng
