Intravenous Drug Use & Disease Transmission — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptThose who take drugs intravenously (direct injection into the vein using a needle and syringe), are much more likely to acquire serious infections like AIDS and Hepatitis B. The viruses, which are responsible for these diseases, are transferred from one person to another by sharing of infected needles and syringes. Both AIDS and Hepatitis B infections are chronic infections and ultimately fatal. Both can be transmitted through sexual contact or infected blood.
Assertion (A): Drug abusers using infected needles are less susceptible to AIDS and Hepatitis B. Reason (R): These bacteria are transferred by sharing of infected needles and syringes.
