Which form of drug abuse involves most risk of infection with the HIV (AIDS) virus ?

  • A. Cigarette smoking
  • B. Using alcholo
  • C. Injection of heroine
  • D. Taking too much aspirin
  • E. None of these

Explanation

Injecting heroin carries a high HIV risk when contaminated needles or syringes are shared, because infected blood enters the bloodstream directly. Smoking, alcohol and aspirin do not normally transmit HIV in this way.
