Résumé :
Almost three decades after the discovery of HIV, this Series highlights the threat of a largely unpublicised and growing HIV epidemic: in people who use drugs. While large gains have been made in fighting the epidemic in the general population, socially marginalised populations such as people who use drugs, who often enter prison systems, continue to suffer great stigma and lack of access to treatments that can save both their own lives and prevent HIV transmission to others. "Complacency about the HIV /AIDS epidemic now would be a terrible mistake," says Lancet Editor Dr Richard Horton.
The Series tackles the myths surrounding HIV and people who use drugs, and subjects as diverse as women and drugs to the effect of amphetamines, alcohol, and human rights on the epidemic. The issues surrounding antiretroviral HIV treatment, opioid substitution therapy, and needle and syringe programmes are covered in depth, as are the social issues around decriminalisation of drug users and reducing intimidation, stigmatisation, and imprisonment of drug users.

We systematically reviewed reports about determinants of HIV infection in injecting drug users from 2000 to 2009, classifying findings by type of environmental influence. We then modelled changes in risk environments in regions with severe HIV e[...]

HIV can spread rapidly between people who inject drugs (through injections and sexual transmission), and potentially the virus can pass to the wider community (by sexual transmission). Here, we summarise evidence on the effectiveness of individu[...]

The published work on HIV in people who use drugs shows that the global burden of HIV infection in this group can be reduced. Concerted action by governments, multilateral organisations, health systems, and individuals could lead to enormous ben[...]
Injecting drug use is the most hidden dimension of the global HIV epidemic. Yet drug use is expanding across the world. As many as 16 million people inject drugs in at least 148 countries. Around 3 million (but perhaps as many as 6•6 million) p[...]

People who use drugs too often face stigma, discrimination, and mistreatment in HIV prevention, treatment, and care. Some societies consider such users less deserving of compassion than others with HIV who are not drug users, because users' heal[...]

Alcohol has long been recognised as an important contributor to illness and injury, accounting for 4% of the global burden of disease. Yet alcohol remains conspicuously absent from the larger field of research and programming in HIV and substan[...]
After reading through many of the 500 or so papers on harm reduction in drug users listed in the PubMed database, it's hard not to conclude that researchers are really bad at understanding the evidence base. Paper after paper begins its introduc[...]
