- Title
Opioid Injection in Rural Areas of the United States: A Potential Obstacle to Ending the HIV Epidemic.
- Authors
Lerner, Andrea M.; Fauci, Anthony S.
- Abstract
In this Viewpoint, Drs Anthony Fauci and Andrea Lerner discuss the rise of injection of opioids in the rural US as an emerging risk factor for HIV infection among traditionally low-risk communities, and calls for interventions to prevent IDU-related HIV transmission—needle-exchange programs, opioid use disorder treatment programs, and increased availability of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP)—as a means to end the HIV epidemic in the US.
