Abstract
Halting the spread of AIDS and HIV infection has become the top priority for clinicians and public health officials. The majority of HIV infection transmission occurs as a result of specific behaviors. A thorough discussion of the individual history is necessary to learn about a patient's lifestyle and formulate an HIV risk assessment. This article examines the two principal behaviors responsible for HIV transmission--injection drug use and high-risk sexual activity--and discusses in detail how to conduct risk-assessment interviews.
