HIV Prevention Interventions with Women Affected by Substance Use

Women who use substances, and/or have partners who use substances, are at great risk for HIV infection. However, cultural concerns and gender-based roles often impede utilization of HIV prevention activities. Fear of involvement in the child protection and criminal justice systems can also deter women from accessing prevention services and information. Prevention services that meet the needs of women require skill and expertise to construct a safe and sensitive environment. This workshop will address these issues and provide participants with information about effective interventions.
