Evidence of HIV epidemics among non-injecting drug users in Iran: a systematic review.
In Iran, injecting drug users have been recognized as a high-risk group for HIV/AIDS for years. However, evidence of HIV epidemics in non-injecting drug users (non-IDUs) has also been found in recent years. The aim of this systematic review was to determine the prevalence of HIV in non-IDUs in Iran. ⋯ Iran is facing a major HIV epidemic among non-injecting illicit drug users, which necessitates an urgent preventive response.
