Answer:

Use of an infected needle to inject drugs exposes a person to the blood of others, who might be infected with HIV.

Drug abuse can lead to impaired judgment and as a result, unsafe sexual practices, which increase the risk of HIV.

Drug abuse makes users more susceptible to the effects of the HIV virus.
