for Reducing Drug Related Harm in Asia. This Manual is primarily about
the prevention of HIV infection among injecting drug users in Asia. It will also
cover questions of the prevention of drug use and of drug injecting, as these
are fundamental to the spread of HIV among drug injectors. However, it must be
borne in mind that prevention and control of drug use are long-term issues,
whereas HIV can spread with extraordinary rapidity. The first imperative is to
prevent the spread of HIV, because it is so devastating in its effects, and once
it has begun to spread it is much harder to control. In this Manual, we will examine
the evidence that these epidemics are predictable and that they are preventable.

This current publication "Preventing HIV/AIDS among Drug Users: Case Studies
from Asia", is about good practices on HIV/AIDS prevention and care interventions
among drug users. Emphasis is laid on addressing the practical aspects of how
to do it. Each of the studies has been arranged in a format to promote the
reader's further consideration of the issues such that they might be replicated
and adapted to their own particular context and needs. The case studies describe
a variety of interventions, focusing on HIV/AIDS vulnerability and demand reduction,
outreach interventions (including the provision of clean needles and syringes),
condoms and counseling, institutional treatment, care and support, substitution
therapy and advocacy. They also reflect a recurrent strategic theme that single
isolated interventions are unlikely to be effective unless they are integrated
within a comprehensive approach.
