Social Networks, Drug Injectors’ Lives, and HIV/AIDS

`
This is an interesting, important, and well-written book. It contains a great deal of useful new information about the risk behaviours of drug injectors and how they respond or fail to respond to those risks... The book provides detail about how individual drug injectors understand and try cope with these immediate risks. It stands as a considerable achievement and one from which all who work in this field can learn.

Addiction, 95:8 (2000)

"This book represents the culmination of a decade's work by consummate

researcher-advocates who are not content to disseminate their

findings in peer-reviewed scientific journals but who wish to

build on research findings to improve the lives of the people

they have studied. Pragmatism and the desire to produce change

permeate all 13 chapters of this book."

(Karen McKinnon, Psychiatric Services, April 2001)
