Testing for HIV in opioid treatment programs
Part of Digestive system, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Mental health clinical trials.
This project studies how to improve offering and completing HIV (and hepatitis C) tests in opioid treatment programs. It may help increase timely follow-up and linkage to care when results are positive.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your program must see at least 150 new (not repeated) patients per year at your site
- Your program must agree to track who is offered HIV or hepatitis C tests, who completes them, and what happens after positive results
- If someone tests positive, the program must be able to link them to care or evaluation within 30 days
- Your program must be able to share overall patient demographics (group totals) and details about how testing gets paid for and billed
- Key staff must be willing to join study surveys, interviews, and coaching during the study

This study tests a program to help people living with HIV in Alabama who also struggle with opioid or stimulant use. It takes place at your HIV clinic and checks whether a new approach to addiction care can improve your health.
This study tests a telehealth program to help people who inject drugs in rural Southern areas prevent HIV and get care for hepatitis C. It's designed to be supportive and help you build strength to stay healthy.
This study tests whether a combination of buprenorphine (a medication for opioid addiction) and PrEP (a daily pill to prevent HIV) can help people who are leaving jail or prison stay healthy. It aims to reduce both opioid relapse and HIV risk during the transition back to the community.
This study tests how well a program combining telemedicine (virtual doctor visits) and peer support can help prevent HIV among people who inject drugs. You'd get trained, attend weekly group sessions, and invite a friend or partner to also take part.
This trial studies point-of-care (on-site) testing to find hepatitis C in adults who are at higher risk. If hepatitis C is found, earlier detection can help you get connected to care sooner.
This study looks at how to better support young men living with or at risk for HIV while also addressing substance use. You'll work with a care team that helps you stay healthy and connected to services.
