The article highlights the efforts of non-governmental organizations in addressing the fight against HIV among drug injectors and sex workers in Ukraine. It contends that the arrest of physician Illya Podolyan for prescribing opioid substitution maintenance therapy to her patients is an illustration of the lack of drug policies against illicit drugs. It traces the origins of the rise of the HIV epidemics in Ukraine and Russia. The actions taken by several groups like Club Eney, which has an office at the Kiev AIDS Centre, the Vertical Group and Step by Step, are described in detail.
