 AB    This paper investigates domains of drug injection behavior and the
       association of derived factors to HIV serostatus. Two sets of data were
       randomly selected and matched from a national data set of over 40,000
       drug injectors. One set was HIV seropositive and the other HIV
       seronegative heterosexual injectors. Samples were matched to control for
       the effects of race/ethnicity, gender, and age on serostatus. Factor
       analysis was used to investigate relationships among drug injection
       behaviors. Four independent factors were found. Two factors were found
       to be statistically related to HIV serostatus in high seroprevalence
       areas. None of the needle use factors was found to be significantly
       associated with serostatus in low seroprevalence areas.
