Nested within a study of social networks and HIV/ HCV risk among PWID in rural Puerto Rico, we propose an ethnographically informed approach to "caballo", the joint acquisition and sharing of drugs, as a window into the social production of an HCV epidemic among PWID. While drug sharing arrangements among PWID have been amply documented, an ethnographic study of caballo in Puerto Rico will illuminate the social context behind the joint acquisition and use of drugs and its related epidemiological risk.	./cache/cord-256118-gxhhwqdd.txt	./txt/cord-256118-gxhhwqdd.txt
