This buprenorphine intervention has been informed and adapted from the best practice findings of a past SPNS initiative that yielded successful HIV care continuum outcomes among client participants.
Approximately 4.74 million Americans aged 12 and older reported non-medical opioid use in the last month.

About this intervention
- What is it?
An integrated substance use disorder and HIV primary care model, providing buprenorphine for clients with co-occurring HIV and substance use disorder. - Why is it needed?
Dramatic increases in opioid-related fatal overdoses and acute hepatitis C infections in recent years underscore the urgent need to identify and treat opioid use disorder in people with HIV. - Who can deliver it?
HIV primary care providers with buprenorphine waivers, in collaboration with clinical coordinators. - How do I use these resources?
These resources are meant to support replication of the intervention. Manuals outline replication processes and curricula support training activities. Additional resources help provide insight from grant recipients or from other areas of the project.
Background
A substance use + public health intervention
Buprenorphine treatment delivered in HIV clinics is associated with decreased opioid use, increased antiretroviral use, higher quality of HIV care, and higher quality of life.
