HIV/AIDS care and treatment for people who inject drugs in Asia and the Pacific: an essential practice guide

ISBN 978 92 9061 320 6

The guide is designed for primary care physicians who provide care and treatment to individuals infected with HIV through IDU. It may also be useful for other health-care providers such as nurses, pharmacists, addiction specialists and professionals in other health-related fields. Although some patients would have used injection drugs in the past and are not current users, many who require HIV treatment will continue to inject drugs. This guide is designed to provide a practical and detailed approach to ART and addiction treatment, although supplementary documents will be useful.
