Ten myths about AIDS education: Myth 7

"Aids education for drug users is a waste of time and money because they are unconcerned about their health and unable to change their behavior."

"FACT: Concerned about AIDS and increasingly aware of the risks, many drug users have stopped sharing needles or are sharing less frequently, but their sexual behavior has been slower to change."

"RECOMMENDATION: Targeted AIDS education for drug users should be expanded and supported by public funds. Special emphasis should be placed on changing sexual behavior because drug users continue to be the main source for heteresexual transmission of HIV."

"This is one of ten myths prepared by the Citizens Commission on AIDS. For a free copy of the Commission's report, AIDS Prevention and Education: Reframing the Message, writre: Citizens Commission on AIDS, 121 Sixth Avenue, Sixth Floor, New York, NY 10013."
