For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they get addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
