Description
Hallie Rozansky and co-authors examine how often an addiction consult service gets hospital patients who inject drugs onto HIV prevention medicines. Drugs that prevent HIV before or after exposure work well, yet people who inject drugs rarely receive them. A hospital stay, with addiction specialists at the bedside, could be the moment to start.
The team reviewed patients seen by the service at an urban safety-net hospital across 2020 to 2022. They counted who had plausible injection drug use and who left with a new prescription for preventive treatment. The rates show the size of the missed chance, and where consult services can close it.
