Integrating HIV prevention services into care for people with opioid use disorder
A multidisciplinary approach to integrate HIV prevention services into clinical care settings for people with opioid use disorder
['FUNDING_R01'] · MIRIAM HOSPITAL · NIH-11030519
This study is looking at how to make it easier for people with opioid use disorder to get HIV prevention services, like testing and medication, by bringing these services into places they already visit for healthcare, like emergency rooms and clinics.

What this research studies
This research aims to improve access to HIV prevention services for individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) by integrating these services into existing healthcare settings such as emergency departments and primary care clinics. The project will assess current healthcare utilization patterns and identify barriers to accessing HIV prevention, including screening and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). By employing a multidisciplinary approach, the research seeks to develop innovative strategies to engage patients with OUD in necessary HIV prevention services, ultimately aiming to reduce the incidence of HIV among this high-risk population.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals diagnosed with opioid use disorder who are at risk for HIV infection.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have opioid use disorder or are not at risk for HIV infection may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly enhance the availability and uptake of HIV prevention services for individuals struggling with opioid use disorder.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promise in integrating health services for at-risk populations, indicating that this approach could be effective.
