Intended Audience: Interprofessional healthcare teams nationwide, with a focus on primary care physicians, infectious diseases specialists, nurse practitioners, physician's assistants, pharmacist, nurses, psychologists, and social workers

Advancements in the treatment and prevention of HIV have sparked excitement within the healthcare community. However, the relationship between HIV and substance use disorder (SUD) causes a persistent gap in the HIV care continuum. This toolkit includes resources to help you lead interactive, clinic- and community-based educational sessions designed to engage people facing SUD who are living with or at risk for HIV in making informed decisions about their health and accessing local services for HIV testing, prevention, and treatment.
