New study to address HIV-related deaths in Downtown Eastside

he influence of law enforcement, addiction treatment levels, and psychological variables on treatment access and adherence, as well as socio-economic issues (eg. unstable housing).

Access to essential care is a key component in the fight against HIV and hepatitis C among IDUs, says Dr. Bhagirath Singh, Scientific Director of the CIHR Institute of Infection and Immunity.

"This research project will provide better understanding of the factors affecting IDUs' access to care. This will lead to the development of more effective interventions and improved prevention and treatment initiatives targeting this high-risk population," says Singh.

The research staff will actively refer HIV-positive IDUs not receiving medical care into appropriate treatment.

The Centre also recently received a $250,000 US grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to study the use of crystal meth and the increasing emergence of drug-resistant HIV. The two-year study, funded by the department's National Institutes of Health, will monitor IDUs with a history of smoking or injecting crystal meth while receiving anti-HIV treatment.
