Addressing Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) as a Strategy to End the HIV Epidemic

Ending the HIV Epidemic will require providing evidence-based interventions to help people with HIV who have Substance Use Disorders (SUDs).

This webinar reviewed:

• The impact of SUDs (alcohol, opioids and methamphetamine) on the outcomes along the HIV care continuum
• Three effective evidence-based SUD interventions (Medication Assisted Treatment/MAT, Motivational Interviewing/MI, and Contingency Management/CM)
• Two examples of jurisdictional efforts addressing SUD as part of their EHE plans
• TA and training for EHE jurisdictions interested in implementing or enhancing an EHE and SUD initiative

This online TA event is the latest in a series for Ending the HIV Epidemic jurisdictions, convened by TAP-in, the HRSA-funded Technical Assistance Provider supporting the EHE jurisdictions.

The webinar is part of the support being provided to Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) jurisdictions through TAP-in, the HRSA-funded technical assistance provider.
