Presentation Details:
In the Western U.S., health outcomes at the intersection of stimulant use and HIV remains a significant public health problem. This presentation will review evidence on: (1) the current epidemiology of stimulant use and HIV in the West and nationally; (2) the behavioral and direct effects of stimulant use on HIV transmission; and, (3) the evidence-based interventions, from harm reduction through treatment, that can be implemented to address HIV. Steven Shoptaw PhD, Professor and Vice Chair for Research, Department of Family Medicine, University of California Los Angeles.
