A drug user injects heroin at a construction site in Stone Town Zanzibar, December 22, 2009. An estimated 4,000-6,000 narcotics addicts use syringes to inject themselves in Zanzibar, a tropical archipelago of one million people, better known for tourism and beach holidays than drug abuse. High rates of HIV among addicts threaten to affect the general population as growth in heroin trafficking through east Africa is making the narcotic more available.
