Feasibility and Safety of Extended-Release Naltrexone Treatment of Opioid and Alcohol Use Disorder in HIV Clinics: A Pilot/Feasibility Randomized Trial

摘要

Background and aimsHIV-infected persons with substance use disorders are least likely to benefit from advances in HIV treatment. Integration of extended-release naltrexone (XR-NTX) into HIV clinics may increase engagement in the HIV care continuum by decreasing substance use. We aimed to compare 1) XR-NTX treatment initiation, 2) retention, and 3) safety of XR-NTX versus treatment as usual (TAU) for treating opioid use disorder (OUD) and/or alcohol use disorder (AUD) in HIV clinics.
