 AB    Temporal differences in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk-related
       behaviors among injection drug users in Rome, Italy, were analyzed in
       487 drug users recruited in 1990 and 450 recruited in 1992. Sharing of
       syringes decreased among self-reported HIV-positive drug users between
       1990 and 1992, but there was no change in their sexual behavior. Fewer
       HIV-seronegative drug users reported passing on used syringes in 1992
       than in 1990; however, there was no change in the percentage of
       seronegative subjects using previously used syringes, and a reduction in
       condom use with primary partners. There still exists a great potential
       for transmission of HIV infection among injection drug users and from
       injection drug users to the general population.
