International Research
Argentina
 Although there remains a large concentration of injection drug users in major cities, especially in and around Buenos Aires, an alarming rise in the smoking of coca paste – an intermediate product in the processing of coca leaves into powder cocaine – seems to be leading to a decline in HIV transmission through injection drug use in Argentina.

International Research
India
 As of February 2004, the government of India has agreed to provide HAART medication to HIV-infected individuals. Although the majority of HIV cases in India are due to heterosexual transmission, escalating drug use in selected regions of the country are associated with high rates of HIV infection.

International Research
Vietnam
 In June 2004, Vietnam became eligible for funding of HAART treatment expansion through the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). HIV infection in Vietnam has spread dramatically, especially among injection drug users (IDUs), fueled by poor social conditions and a trend away from smoking opium to injecting heroin.
