美沙酮维持治疗病人有可能透过静脉注射毒品及/或不安全的性行为感染或传播爱滋病病毒。自愿美沙酮患者的艾滋病预防计划在三个诊所（两个实验，一个控制）的结果评估报告。预防计划包括三个组成部分：艾滋病教育，艾滋病毒抗体咨询/检测，并促进同伴支持小组。参与艾滋病教育与艾滋病风险知识的增加和对安全套态度的改善有关。同伴群体的参与与对使用安全套的态度的改善和安全套使用的增加有关。艾滋病毒血清阴性的学习与提高自我效能和减少静脉吸毒的危险行为。预防计划的参与率令人失望，但该计划似乎对那些参与的患者有益。
Methadone maintenance patients are at risk of contracting or transmitting HIV through intravenous drug use and/or unsafe sexual practices. An outcome evaluation of a voluntary AIDS prevention program for methadone patients in three clinics (two experimental, one control) is reported. The prevention program included three components: didactic AIDS education, HIV antibody counseling/testing, and facilitated peer support groups. Participation in AIDS education was associated with increased knowledge of AIDS risks and with improved attitudes toward condoms. Peer group participation was associated with improved attitudes toward the use of condoms and with increased use of condoms. Learning of HIV seronegativity was related to increased self-efficacy and decrease intravenous drug use risk behaviors. Rates of participation in the prevention program were disappointing, but the program seemed beneficial for those patients who did become involved.
