 AB    This study compares the sociodemographic characteristics and human
       immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk behaviors of injection drug users who
       had received drug abuse treatment in the previous 5 years and those who
       had not received treatment. The National AIDS Demonstration Research
       Program database provided 2001 structured interviews, representing
       Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Dayton, Ohio. About 43% of the
       subjects reported having received treatment in the previous 5 years.
       Length of involvement with drugs, more frequent injection, more legal
       problems, and higher levels of HIV risk behaviors were associated with a
       history of treatment. Incorporating HIV risk reduction education in drug
       abuse treatment is an urgent priority.
