For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue.
In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
