Nurses working with people who use drugs and/or in substance use treatment settings are an ideally positioned but underutilized professional group to provide HIV prevention interventions for this vulnerable population. Nurses can be valuable sources of education for patients about their individual risk factors for HIV and can also provide them with a bespoke toolkit they can utilize to manage these risk factors. Timely and appropriate nursing interventions can help ensure that HIV infection is not an inevitable outcome of a substance use disorder.

Learner Objectives

1. Describe why HIV prevention belongs in addiction nursing. Review the natural history and pathogenic effects of HIV. Introduce the HIV prevention toolkit. Describe nurses’ role in HIV prevention in addiction treatment settings. Describe the impact stigma, trauma, and healthcare inequity has on HIV prevention efforts. Provide a case study illustrating HIV prevention by nurses in an addiction treatment setting. Introduce resources for additional education on HIV prevention.
