According to the Department of Corrections of the Ministry of Justice, there are currently an estimated 210,000 drug users in Taiwan, of whom 130,000 take intravenous drugs like heroin; the others mainly use "soft drugs," like marijuana or the recently faddish Ecstasy. But even soft drugs, despite not being injected intravenously, also contribute in their own way to the spread of AIDS.
根據法務部矯正司統計，國內目前使用毒品者總數約達 21 萬人，其中 13 萬人使用的是海洛英一類的靜脈注射毒品，其他則多屬大麻和近年流行的搖頭丸等「軟性毒品」。
