Drugs consumption obstructs HIV/Aidss prevention because risk is associated to identities the addict instead of specific behaviors not to use condom, so, whom does not use drugs feels protected by no belonging to risk group although they have risk practices; ILHA (inmates who live with HIV/AIDS) have developed a despair feeling where the absence of a positive future for themselves leads them to drugs consumption as an alternative for coping his disagreeable reality and make easy that they abandon their retroviral treatment accelerating Aidss phase appearing.
