对东非注射吸毒的研究进行了回顾。现有研究记录了海洛因注射在肯尼亚和坦桑尼亚的蔓延情况，这两个国家的艾滋病毒感染率都很高。作者没有发现乌干达关于注射吸毒的数据。介绍了肯尼亚沿海城镇海洛因注射增长的案例研究。讨论了针头交换计划和其他预防服务的需求。
Studies on injecting drug use in East Africa are reviewed. The existingstudies document the spread of heroin injection in Kenya and Tanzania, both countries where HIV rates are high. No data from Uganda on injecting drug use was found by the authors. A case study of the growth of heroin injection in a Kenyan coastal town is presented. The need for needle-exchange programmes and other prevention services is discussed.
