• Description:
  SNIFFER is a four-session, small-group, social learning based, AIDS/drug injection prevention intervention for intranasal drug users. The intervention is designed to create a support-group type of atmosphere so participants feel comfortable discussing personal problems and seeking help from the facilitators and their peers. The sessions include information on AIDS, drug use, drug injection, sexual behavior and AIDS, and seeking entry into drug treatment programs. Coping skills, such as self-assertion, dealing with depression, and seeking treatment, are addressed. Through role play, participants learn how to refuse an offer to inject drugs and learn to seek entry into a drug treatment program. Participants are taught ‘safer’ injection procedures, such as cleaning drug injection equipment with bleach to decontaminate. As part of the intake procedures, all participants are provided HIV pre-test counseling and are offered HIV testing. Post-test counseling is provided to those electing to take the HIV test and Hepatitis B testing was required for all participants.
