This paper examines the uptake of the HIV test in a busy London drug dependency unit and looks at some of the specialist aspects of HIV counselling with drug users. HIV pre-test counselling is an important health education opportunity. The current guidelines for HIV pre-test counselling with drug users suggest that practitioners should adopt a more encouraging attitude.
