Persons Who Inject Drugs (PWID)



Injection drug use is a well-known route of transmission of blood-borne infections, particularly HIV, hepatitis B and C, and bacteria that cause heart infections (endocarditis). Use of illicit drugs is also associated with increased rates of TB and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). This web site provides materials and resources to assist researchers, policymakers, and clinical and program providers who work with persons who inject drugs (PWID), their sex partners and families. This site does not address issues related to the use of cannabinoids, alcohol, or tobacco.
