Course Description
INTRODUCTION
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that between 650,000 and 900,000 people in the U.S. are living with HIV. Many people who are infected don’t know it.
HIV/AIDS and Substance Abuse
HIV is most easily transmitted by exposure to contaminated blood. As a result, injection drug users make up the largest HIV-infected group of sub stance users in the U.S. However, all drug users are at high risk for HIV. Drug use can result in poor judgment, leading to unprotected sexual con tact with infected partners and to sharing of infected injection equipment.
The Role of Substance Abuse Treatment
Substance abuse treatment can be critical in helping to reduce the number of new HIV infections. Counseling substance-abusing, HIV-infected clients is a challenge for every clinician.

Read MoreI thought the disproportionate numbers among the different races was fascinating. The course was very informative about the different ways to approach the subject of substance abuse and HIV. I also found the information about HIV progression with various substances was very interesting. I have had HIV for 25 years and am still learning new and exciting advances in the research. Still at times seems like an uphill battle complicated by SUD. I found this course eye opening in the subject of cultural backgrounds and how to approach people individually on a level that is comfortable and easy to understand for them. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up for this course and the new education i have about my own unique case. Thank you
