Este artículo expone un enfoque individualizado a la prevención de VIH para las poblaciones de drogodependientes basado en la teoría (Prochask y DiClemente, 1986), incorpora una intervención realizada frecuentemente con los drogodependientes infectados por el VIH (Wechsberg et al, 1997), e incluye el concepto de Mapas Cognitivos como una estrategia para relacionar los pensamientos, los sentimientos y las expectativas con las conductas y acciones. Los mapas cognitivos representan los problemas como gráficos o planes con el objetivo de vincular los pensamientos con las consecuencias conductuales específicas. La intervención fue desarrollada en grupos piloto y fue probada inicialmente con drogodependientes que no se encontraban en tratamiento. La intervención se dirige al abuso de drogas y a las conductas sexuales insalubres de alto riesgo, identificados por los participantes en la intervención.

Abstract
This article presents an individualized HIV prevention approach for drug abusers which is theoretically grounded (Prochaska& DiClemente, 1986), incorporates a commonly used HIV intervention for drug abusers (Wechsberg et al., 1997), and includes Thought Mapping as a way of relating thoughts, feelings, and expectations, to behaviors and actions. Thought Mapping is diagramming or mapping problems in a way to link thoughts to specific behavioral consequences. The intervention was developed using focus groups and initially piloted with drug abusers not in treatment. The intervention targets drug abuse and unhealthy or high-risk sexual behaviors, which are identified by those who participate in the intervention.
