He said that 15 million of the drug users are drugs-addicted people: “1.3% of the world's population, between the ages of 15-64 died of drug use last year. 40% of drug users suffer from hepatitis C disease. Most of them are HIV-infected people."
The UN official touched on the state of this disease in Azerbaijan. He said that the number of HIV-infected inmates in Azerbaijani prisons has risen from 2.5% to 5.8%: “Azerbaijan's location on a major drug transit route has a significant impact on the increase of drug use and trafficking in the country. Azerbaijan has announced the fight against drugs and its users. Steps taken by law enforcement agencies prove it.”
