 AB    Drug addicts have, in general, a less complicated course of HIV
       infection than homosexual HIV patients. They show fewer opportunistic
       infections and tumors. But this advantage is lost by unnecessary
       complications due to their psychic disorders. Their non-compliance and
       concealment of signs of disease lead to worse outcomes of infections,
       which could be well-treated or prevented.
