  As part of a multi-site Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-funded initiative, a community-level HIV prevention project targeting injection drug users was implemented in the Five Points community in Denver, Colorado. The protocol for the initiative included the use of peer networks to conduct outreach and disseminate intervention materials to injecting drug users. Since April 1993, project staff established a peer network of 119 participants who distribute approximately 3,000 materials per month.
