Abstract

The combination of political, economic, and social changes that accompanied the fall of the Soviet Union has resulted in a dramatic epidemic of drug abuse in Russia, which has led to an epidemic of HIV-1, driven by injection drug use. The estimated HIV prevalence of 30% places St. Petersburg among the worst injection drug users concentrated epidemics in Europe.
