You literally downvote me specifically because you dislike me. You downvote almost EVERYTHING I post, even if it wasn't even a joke. You downvoted me apologizing for vegging in a game.
HIV AND SUBSTANCE USE: WHAT’S THE CONNECTION? HIV and substance use have been closely connected since the very beginning of the HIV epidemic. Injection drug use is one of the ways that HIV is spread and is responsible for approximately 10% of new HIV infections each year. TRANSMISSION If you have HIV and you inject drugs and share drug preparation or equipment (“works”), you can transmit HIV to others who don’t have it. RISKY BEHAVIORS In addition, the use of alcohol and the non-medical use of drugs can significantly increase the likelihood that you will engage in risky behaviors, including having sex without a condom, or trading sex for drugs, money, food, or shelter. This can increase your risk of transmitting HIV to others, or for getting a sexually transmitted infection, which can be more extensive and harder to treat in people living with HIV.
