Blog 13: Answer One

Answer One

The most effective way to treat an HIV+ patient in drug rehab is by providing HIV counseling and testing services to patients, their partners, and their family.

Once a patient is informed that he/she has contracted HIV, it is very important to talk about it with those who the patient may have spread the disease to. Testing should be made available to those who may have contracted the disease. It is also very important to discuss ways that transmission can be prevented with the patient. 

Almost every single piece of research I have collected thus far has introduced this idea when talking about ways to rehabilitate HIV+ patients in drug treatment centers. One website that has been extremely beneficial throughout has been TheBody.com.
