U.S. health officials say doctors should consider giving a daily AIDS drug to another high risk group to prevent infection — people who shoot heroin, methamphetamines or other injection drugs.
A similar recommendation is already in place for gay men and heterosexual couples.
The new advice was triggered by a study done in Thailand. Drug users who took the daily pill were about 50% less likely to become infected with HIV than those given a dummy pill.
Drug users represent about 1 in 13 new infections in the U.S. but they account for the majority of cases in Eastern Europe and central Asia.
