What is the HIV/Aids rate amongst ex-drug users?

I am not referring to intravenous users.

I meant ex-drug abusers...

I do not have any idea if there are stats on something like this. The HIV/AIDS Organizations have stats on what risk factors a person participated in. But where/what organization for drug users would be allowed to compile a list of all the people they treat that also have HIV/AIDS? I am a recovering addict though and I can tell you that of the 200 or so people I know in recovery I only know about 5 that are HIV+.

I do not have AIDS because i'm ... not that way.
