PY - 2018 DA - 2018/02/07 TI - Eligibility for heroin-assisted treatment (HAT) among people who inject opioids and are living with HIV in a Canadian setting JO - Addiction Science & Clinical Practice SP - 3 VL - 13 IS - 1 AB - A growing body of evidence supports the effectiveness of injectable diacetylmorphine (i.e., heroin) for individuals with treatment-refractory opioid use disorder. Despite this evidence, and the increasing toll of opioid-associated morbidity and mortality, it remains controversial in some settings. To investigate the possible contribution of heroin-assisted treatment (HAT) to HIV treatment-related outcomes, we sought to estimate the proportion and characteristics of HIV-positive people who inject opioids that might be eligible for HAT in Vancouver, Canada.
