| Abstract | This report is the fifth in a series detailing the impact of the injection-related AIDS epidemic on African Americans and Latinos. Ten chapters include: (1) "Health Emergency: The Spread of AIDS among African Americans Who Inject Drugs"; (2) "Health Emergency: The Spread of AIDS Among Latinos Who Inject Drugs"; (3) "A Neglected Opportunity: Drug Treatment as AIDS Prevention"; (4) "The Scientific Evidence: Needle Exchange Programs Prevent HIV and Can Reduce Drug Use"; (5) "The Legality of Saving Lives"; (6) "Saving Lives and Saving Billions of Health Care Dollars"; (7) "Health Emergency: African American and Latina Women and Their Children"; (8) "Hepatitis C: Sometimes Deadly Disease Where Sterile Needles Can Save Lives and Dollars"; (9) "Medical Treatment for AIDS is AIDS Prevention: African Americans and Latinos are Disadvantaged"; and (10) "What Must Be Done." The report indicates that over 165,000 African Americans and 76,000 Latinos were living with injection-related AIDS or had died from it by the end of 2001. Many thousands more were infected with HIV. The HIV/AIDS epidemic has affected African Americans and Latinos much more significantly than whites who inject drugs. Recommendations include permitting possession of sterile needles and permitting and funding needle exchange programs. (SM) |
