Although the problems of HIV transmission among drug users are well documented, HIV prevention and care interventions for this group remain relatively weak. This is due to the dominating policies on supply reduction, the illegal status of drug users, stigmatization and discriminatory attitudes and practices toward users and inadequate skills of personnel involved with the issues of drug use. Such practices make it more difficult for drug users to access treatment and HIV prevention information. Blaming people for getting infected with any disease is a favorite practice everywhere. This moralizing technique causes harm rather than reducing harm.
