Harm Reduction in HIV Primary Care for PLWH Who Use Drugs

Harm reduction aims to reduce negative effects of risky health behaviors without necessarily terminating the behaviors completely.Though often thought of as structural approaches (e.g., policy or syringe services), Harm reduction is also a relational approach to care focusing on non-punitive patient-provider interactions to promote autonomy. The degree to which harm reduction care is offered in study settings and is associated with clinical outcomes is the focus of this study.
