| Care of Injection Drug Users |
Website |
NGO, SAMHSA |
|
| Description: This chapter reviews approaches to the care of HIV-infected drug users. Injection drug users (IDUs) are a growing group of patients with HIV disease. Injection drug use is an important HIV transmission route, particularly affecting minorities, women, and children. Providing drug abuse treatment to HIV-infected individuals is crucial because it can prevent HIV transmission by reducing needle use and needle sharing.(1,2) In addition to reducing needle sharing, drug abuse treatment has the potential to prevent HIV transmission by reducing the number of impulsive and possibly unsafe sex acts associated with the intoxication and disinhibition that results from drug use. Drug abuse treatment can also provide a setting to deliver other services needed by HIV-infected patients, including HIV medical care, psychiatric treatment, social services, and education about HIV disease. Furthermore, drug abuse treatment may be helpful in reducing the morbidity associated with HIV infection(3) and may have the potential to reduce utilization of medical services by HIV-infected drug users. |
