Building on Needle Exchange to Optimize Prevention & Treatment

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Intravenous Drug Usage, HIV/AIDS

In brief

There are several biomedical interventions that can help people who inject drugs (particularly those with or at risk for HIV), but these services often do not get to the people most in need. In this project investigators propose to determine if delivery of these services to PWID by an integrated care van that is linked to a mobile syringe service program improves clinical outcomes, is feasible and sustainable, and is cost-effective.
