 In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA)[1] there are currently 670,000 people living with HIV and between 400,000 and 900,000 injecting drug users (IDU). There are also a larger number of non-injecting drug users at risk of transition to injection or to temporary injecting behavior due to various reasons. Injecting drug use represents the second most prevailing mode of HIV transmission in the region and constitutes the main driver of the epidemic in several countries.
