L’objectif
To better provide services to people who use drugs, we present a prospective, single-group interventional study involving the creation of a partnership between a safer opioid supply program and an HIV PrEP program, both of which were nurse-led.
Constatations/points à retenir
Most participants were able to successfully stay on PrEP and maintained good medication adherence. There were no PrEP discontinuations due to renal impairment and no participants tested positive for HIV. This novel integration of programs appeared to be a highly effective way to expand access to HIV prevention among people who use drugs.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
HIV PrEP was offered to 42 individuals within the safer opioid supply program, resulting in 55% (n = 23) acceptance.
