Triangle of Despair,Heroin, Prostitution and HIV

Bradley E. Clift

The Hartford Courant

Someone's in the Kitchen- In the kitchen of her Oak St. apartment, 30-year old Darlene Westover takes her 'wake-up' the first shot of the day. Darlene's wake-up is a speedball, a mix of heroin and cocaine. She is from a small town and is like alot of women working the streets near the capitol--White, under 40, addicted to heroin, and HIV positive.
