Nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors are a critical component of antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected persons. Several of these medications cause painful, dose-limiting peripheral neuropathy (PN), which may develop earlier and more intensely in persons with preexisting neuropathy. The prevalence of baseline peripheral neuropathy in injection drug users (IDUs), one of the largest populations of HIV-infected persons, has not been described, yet has important implications for the selection of antiretroviral therapy.
