Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
