The Current State of HIV and Substance Use

This training provides an updated lens on the current state of HIV and substance use in the United States. We discuss rates of HIV amongst people who use drugs (PWUD) and what unique factors impact health outcomes for them. Guidelines for prevention and meaningful engagement surrounding risk reduction for PWUD are discussed, as well as disparities of HIV amongst people who use drugs.

Training Objectives:

• Attendees should be able to identify three HIV risk reduction strategies tailored for people who use drugs
• Attendees should be able to discuss current HIV health disparities amongst people who use drugs
• Attendees should be able to discuss what meaningful engagement looks like in their differing settings
