Abstract

Clinical course of HIV infection was studied among 156 intravenous drug users (IVDU). Mean follow up was 22.7 months. Characteristics of HIV infection in IVDU were frequent oral candidiasis and bacterial infections (BI), more frequent progression to AIDS after a second BI, rapid decline of CD4+ in a group of current IVDU. Progression to AIDS was 14.5% per year, not different among current and former IVDU. Twenty five IVDU died.
