Institute: National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)

Drug abuse and addiction continue to fuel the spread of HIV/AIDS in the United States and abroad. To address this significant public health threat, researchers are examining risk behaviors associated with injection and non-injection drug abuse, how drugs of abuse alter brain function and impair decision making, and HIV prevention and treatment strategies for diverse groups.

NIDA is sponsoring Drug Abuse and Risky Behaviors: The Evolving Dynamics of HIV/AIDS, a meeting to foster broad understanding of the multiple ways that drug abuse and addiction affect HIV/AIDS and how research can inform public health policy. Presentations will focus on research successes, challenges, and opportunities for addressing the evolving HIV/AIDS pandemic. Members of the research community, public health organizations, federal agencies, drug abuse and HIV/AIDS organizations, and the public are invited to attend.
