This article presents findings from a qualitative study concerning drug injectors' constructs of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk behavior. Analysis of data obtained from in-depth interviews (some with a vignette) of drug injectors found that when individuals needed an injection of drugs and were experiencing drug withdrawal they were more likely to take drug injecting risks. This was often discussed within an overall preoccupation with drug use. The substantive focus of the analysis goes on to explore drug injectors' desire to think about the consequences of HIV risk behavior at a later point in time. These exploratory findings highlight how further research needs to be undertaken in order to improve understanding of the temporal issues concerning drug injecting HIV risk behavior.
