Don Des Jarlais received funding for "Barriers to Reason: Laws Impacting HIV Prevention Efforts among IDUs in the United States". This study will identify the impact of laws and regulations that allow or restrict harm reduction interventions for IDUs, including syringe exchange programs and naloxone delivery on public health outcomes among IDUs.
Two "Seek, Test, Treat and Retain" studies were awarded to CDUHR investigators:
• Marya Gwadz received funding for "Peer-Driven Intervention to Seek, Test & Treat Heterosexuals at High Risk for HIV." The project will develop and evaluate the efficacy of multi-level enhanced peer-driven intervention for high-risk heterosexuals. • Ann Kurth was awarded funding for "Test and Linkage to Care (TLC-IDU) Kenya." Dr. Kurth's team in Kenya will recruit IDU's from the country's first ever syringe exchange programs. The study will test for HIV, provide linkage and support for retention in care.
A third "Seek, Test and Treat" study was funded in 2010: "CARE Corrections: Technology for Jail HIV/HCV Testing, Linkage and Care" (Ann Kurth, PI).
