    BACKGROUND: To evaluate the evolution of the HIV infection in the drug addicts of Madrid. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Data of 2,234 patients that entered for the first time in a Psychiatric Hospital Detoxication Unit of Madrid from October 1985 to december 1996 were recorded. RESULTS: There was a reduction of the percentage of addicts infected by the HIV (of the 66 to 25%), also in the IVDUs men (of the 70 to 37.6%), but not in women. There was an increase in the number of addicts that had never injected drugs (of the 7 to the 45%). CONCLUSIONS: Despite the reduction of HIV infection rate in drugs addicts in Madrid, it remains still very high.
