Abstract:
The I.V. drug abuser who has a history of non-compliance is perhaps the most difficult to reach among those at risk for contracting AIDS. This article details one approach being attempted at HERO, that of a community-based support group run by an indeginous worker where the emphasis is on support, education, and outreach to others. HERO's program is also highlighted.
