For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and 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 public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.
In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they get drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
