For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
