For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.
