We review five innovative strategies to improve access, utilization, and adherence for HIV-infected drug users and suggest areas that need further attention. In addition, we highlight two innovative programs. The first increases access and utilization through integrated HIV and opioid addiction treatment with buprenorphine in a community health center, and the second incorporates adherence counseling for antiretroviral therapy in methadone programs. Preliminary evaluations demonstrated that these strategies may improve both HIV and opioid addiction outcomes and may be appropriate for wider dissemination. Further refinement and expansion of strategies to improve outcomes of HIV-infected drug users is warranted.
我们回顾了五项创新策略,以改善 HIV 感染者和吸毒者的获得途径、利用情况和治疗依从性,并提出了需要进一步关注的领域。此外,我们还重点介绍了两个创新项目。第一个项目是在社区卫生中心通过将 HIV 治疗和阿片类药物成瘾治疗与丁丙诺啡相结合,增加获得途径并提高利用率;第二个项目则是在美沙酮项目中纳入对艾滋病病毒治疗的依从性咨询。初步评估表明,这些策略可能会改善 HIV 和阿片类药物成瘾的治疗效果,并且可能适合更广泛的推广。需要进一步完善和扩大这些策略,以改善 HIV 感染者和吸毒者的治疗效果。
