Non-injection Drug Abuse and HIV/AIDS
The purpose of this program announcement with set-aside funds from the National Institute on Drug Abuse is to encourage drug abuse research that elucidates the contribution of non-injection drug abuse to the acquisition and/or transmission and/or disease progression of HIV/AIDS. Specifically, it seeks to: 1) investigate how, where, why, and among whom HIV/AIDS is spreading through non-injection drug use associated high-risk sexual behavior; 2) develop effective prevention and treatment interventions for non-injection drug users at risk for or infected with HIV; and 3) improve accessibility and utilization of evidence-based, integrated care for non-injection drug abuse, risky sexual behavior, and HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases. While both the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute on Mental Health (NIMH) are participating in this Program Announcement, only NIDA has set aside funds specifically for this program.
