"Why alcohol, crack, and other drugs can put you at risk for the AIDS virus." "They cloud your thinking. You already know that shooting up drugs and sharing needles put you at risk for AIDS. But actually, other drugs such as crack, alcohol and marijuana can put you at risk because they cloud your thinking. And when your thinking is clouded, you take foolish chances. When you're high, you may have sex. That's risky stuff. So think clearly. Don't risk AIDS. If you'd like more information on the relationship between AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases, call the National AIDS hotline. 1-800-342-AIDS. The hotline for the hearing impaired is 1-800-AIDS-TTY."
