REDUCING RATES OF PREVENTABLE HIV/AIDS-ASSOCIATED MORTALITY AMONG PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV WHO INJECT DRUGS

摘要

Purpose of reviewThe modern antiretroviral therapy (ART) era has seen substantial reductions in mortality among people living with HIV. However, HIV-positive people who inject drugs (PWIDs) continue to experience high rates of suboptimal HIV-related outcomes. We review recent findings regarding factors contributing to premature and preventable mortality among HIV-positive PWID, and describe the promise of interventions to improve survival in this group.
