Hispanic Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness National Institute on Drug Abuse Substance abuse represents one of the main routes of exposure to HIV/AIDS. Drug and alcohol users engage in riskier behaviors because drugs disrupt the areas of the brain used in decision making. Nearly 20% of all people diagnosed with HIV in the United States are Hispanic, making it critical to provide educational resources to this multifaceted community. The “Drugs + HIV > Learn the Link” campaign now features “After the Party,” in bilingual or Spanish versions, to educate Hispanic youth about the link between noninjection drug abuse and HIV.
