Strengthening Systems of Care for People with HIV & Opioid Use Disorder

The opioid overdose death rate among persons diagnosed with HIV has increased dramatically in recent years. In response, HRSA established the initiative Strengthening Systems of Care for People with HIV and Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) to develop tools for improved coordination among HIV and behavioral health/substance use service providers.
