Appendix B -- Glossary

Abstinence:

Complete cessation of substance-using behavior.

Acute retroviral syndrome:

An array of symptoms that arises after initial infection with HIV that includes fever, sore throat, swollen glands, muscle and joint pain, nausea, and rash.

Adherence:

Strict observation of a prescribed treatment regimen, including correct dosage and number of doses per day, as well as taking doses with or without food or other medications.

Agranulocytosis:

A sudden, severe drop in white blood cell count that can occur upon the administration of certain HIV medications.

AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome):

AIDS is the end stage of HIV disease and is characterized by a severe reduction in CD4+ T cells. At this point, an infected person has a very weak immune system and is vulnerable to contracting life-threatening infections.

Antiretroviral:

A medication that weakens or halts the reproduction of retroviruses such as HIV.

Blood-brain barrier:

A physical barrier between the blood vessels and the brain that only allows certain substances to pass through and enter the brain.

CD4+ T cell count:

The number of CD4+ T cells in a milliliter of blood. These cells (white blood cells within the immune system) are constantly measured in HIV-infected clients because their number reflects the overall health of the immune system.

Case finding:

A component of outreach that identifies individuals at higher risk for HIV infection and that stresses HIV/AIDS prevention, along with the distribution of items to facilitate compliance with risk reduction techniques.

Combination therapy:

The treatment of HIV disease with multiple medications. Combinations of three or more different medicines are used to treat a client, with each medicine working in a different way to stop the virus. While this is the most effective treatment to date, once combination therapy is begun, it must not be stopped because the virus could then develop resistance to these medications.

Cross-resistance:

Resistance that can develop in the HIV virus once a medication from a certain class is used (e.g., protease inhibitors, nucleosides) to treat it. The virus not only becomes resistant to one particular drug but also becomes resistant to some or all of the other drugs from that class. For this reason, it is widely believed that the best chance for success in HIV treatment is with the first treatment regimen.

Cultural competence:

An aspect of treatment that takes into account the cultural heritage of the client. Culturally competent providers recognize the customs, beliefs, and social forms of the racial, religious, or social group to which the client belongs and work within these parameters to interact successfully with the client.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV):

Any of the group of herpes viruses that appear as opportunistic infections in patients with HIV disease, generally in the latter stages of AIDS. CMV most commonly causes retinitis, which can lead to blindness if untreated, and may also cause gastrointestinal, adrenal, pulmonary, and other systemic problems.

Drug interaction:

The positive or negative effect that one medication has on another when an HIV-infected client is taking both.

Endocarditis:

Bacterial endocarditis is a well-recognized complication of unsterile injection drug use that produces inflammation of the endocardium (the lining of the heart). It can also appear as an HIV-related opportunistic infection.

HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy):

Aggressive combination therapy that usually includes a powerful protease inhibitor medication.

Harm reduction:

An approach to treatment that emphasizes incremental decreases in substance abuse or HIV risk behaviors as treatment goals. This method attempts to keep clients in treatment even if complete abstinence is not achieved.

Herpes zoster (shingles):

A virus that often appears as an initial indication of HIV disease and begins with itching or pain on only one side of the face or body, followed by a rash that looks like chicken pox or poison ivy.

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus):

The retrovirus that causes AIDS in humans. HIV is transmitted through direct contact with human bodily fluids; roughly 10 years after infection, AIDS-defining conditions begin to occur. AIDS is characterized by a severe reduction in CD4+ T cells, which greatly weakens the immune system and leaves the patient vulnerable to contracting life-threatening infections. New medicines can control HIV and extend the life of the patient; however, AIDS is inevitably fatal.

Homophobia:

An irrational aversion to gay men and lesbians and to their lifestyle.

Hospice:

A program or facility that provides care for clients in the last stages of a terminal disease such as AIDS and creates a compassionate environment in which clients can die peacefully.

Leukoplakia:

A virus that causes white patches in the mouth and is one of the initial indications of HIV infection.

Lymphadenopathy:

Swollen lymph nodes, the most common symptom during the HIV latency period. The lymph nodes can be found around the neck and under the arms and contain cells that fight infections. When an infection is present, lymph nodes usually swell. Inside the lymph nodes HIV is trapped and destroyed, but eventually the HIV breaks down the tissue of the nodes and spills into the rest of the body.

Monotherapy:

Treatment of HIV infection with only one medication, usually AZT. This was the standard treatment for HIV before 1995 and is now outdated.

MSMs:

Men who have sex with men.

Neutropenia:

Bone marrow suppression, which can occur upon the administration of certain HIV medications.

Nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI):

A type of medication that binds to HIV's reverse transcriptase enzyme and stops the virus from replicating. NNRTI medications include delaviridine, efavirenz, and nevirapine.

Nucleoside analog:

A drug that mimics HIV's genetic material and halts it from reproducing. This class of drugs includes AZT, abacavir, didanosine, zalcitabine, stavudine, and lamivudine.

Opportunistic infection:

An infection that usually does not harm a healthy person but that can cause a life-threatening illness in someone with a compromised immune system.

Perinatal HIV transmission (vertical transmission):

Transmission of HIV from a mother to her child either in the uterus, during birth, or through breast-feeding.

Peripheral neuropathy:

A condition in which the peripheral nerves of the hands or feet are afflicted, producing numbness, tingling, pain, or weakness.

Phlebotomy:

The act of drawing blood.

Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP):

PCP is the most common AIDS-related infection and is characterized by a dry cough, fever, night sweats, and increasing shortness of breath. Since the late 1980s, the widespread use of PCP prophylaxis has resulted in a dramatic decrease in the incidence of this opportunistic infection. However, despite the availability of effective prophylaxis, PCP is still the most common opportunistic infection; many patients who develop PCP are unaware of their HIV status and hence are not receiving prophylaxis.

Postexposure prophylaxis (PEP):

Antiretroviral therapy that is administered within 72 hours after exposure to HIV in an attempt to eradicate the virus from the body.

Protease inhibitor:

One of a powerful class of drugs used in combination therapy that acts by interfering with the protease enzyme that cuts HIV proteins into the small pieces required to create new copies of the virus. This slows or halts the replication of HIV. Protease inhibitors include indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, and saquinavir.

Reverse transcriptase inhibitor (RTI):

A drug that halts HIV replication by interfering with the reverse transcriptase enzyme used by the HIV virus to transform its genetic material into a form that can be used to produce more viruses. This class of drugs includes nucleoside analogs like AZT and lamivudine.

Risk reduction:

An approach to treatment that emphasizes graduated behavior change rather than immediate abstinence. By identifying areas of risk in the client's life, such as sexual risk or needle sharing, the provider can discuss strategies with the client for avoiding or reducing them.

SEPs:

Syringe exchange programs.

Seroprevalence:

Frequency of presence of antibodies in blood serum as a result of infection.

STDs:

Sexually transmitted diseases.

Substance:

A drug of abuse, a medication, or a toxin.

Substance abuse:

A pattern of substance use that results in harmful consequences for the abuser. This condition is not as severe as substance dependence.

Substance dependence:

Repeated self-administration of a substance that usually results in tolerance, withdrawal, and compulsive substance-abusing behavior.

Thrush:

Oral candidiasis, or thrush, is a symptom of initial HIV infection and usually appears as white plaques at the back of the mouth. Without treatment, thrush often spreads throughout the mouth and can affect the esophagus in persons with advanced disease, leading to severe pain on swallowing and the need for prolonged systemic treatment.

Toxoplasmosis:

An AIDS-defining symptom caused by infection with the protozoan toxoplasma and one of the two most common brain infections in HIV. Toxoplasmosis, which produces seizures, usually does not appear until a client's CD4+ T cell count drops below 100.

Triple combination therapy:

Treatment involving three medications, which can lower the rate of disease progression and mortality more than can two medicines alone. Triple combination therapy was developed after combination-resistant forms of HIV began to appear.

Viral load:

The level of HIV circulating in the bloodstream. This level becomes very high soon after initial infection, then drops until it returns with the onset of AIDS. Drug therapy can keep viral load low or undetectable, but the client can still infect others since the virus still exists--it is simply not visible. Even when testing reveals a low viral load, HIV continues to live inside certain cells in the body and can begin reproducing at any time if the infected person is not on effective treatment. If a person is not in treatment, HIV produces billions of new virions (viral particles) every day.

(Shaded area indicates that the individual has AIDS.)

PGL-persistent generalized lymphadenopathy. Clinical Category A includes acute (primary) HIV infection.

CD4+ T-Lymphocyte Categories

The three CD4+ T-lymphocyte categories are defined as follows:

These categories correspond to CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts per mL of blood and guide clinical and therapeutic actions in the management of HIV-infected adolescents and adults. The revised HIV classification system also allows for the use of the percentage of CD4+ T cells.

HIV-infected persons should be classified based on existing guidelines for the medical management of HIV-infected persons. Thus, the lowest accurate, but not necessarily the most recent, CD4+ T lymphocyte count should be used for classification purposes.

Clinical Categories

The clinical categories of HIV infection are defined as follows:

Category A

Category A consists of one or more of the conditions listed below in an adolescent or adult (> 13 years) with documented HIV infection. Conditions listed in Categories B and C must not have occurred.

Category B

Category B consists of symptomatic conditions in an HIV-infected adolescent or adult that are not included among conditions listed in clinical Category C and that meet at least one of the following criteria:

For classification purposes, Category B conditions take precedence over those in Category A. For example, someone previously treated for oral or persistent vaginal candidiasis (and who has not developed a Category C disease) but who is now asymptomatic should be classified in clinical Category B.

Category C

Category C includes the clinical conditions listed in the AIDS surveillance case definition (below). For classification purposes, once a Category C condition occurs, the person will remain in Category C.

*This expanded definition requires laboratory confirmation of HIV infection in persons with a CD4+T lymphocyte count of fewer than 200 cells/mL or with an added clinical condition.

**Added as AIDS-defining illness in the 1993 expansion of the AIDS surveillance case definition, when occurring in persons with HIV infection.

Amsler Grid Test

This instrument is an effective screening tool for early detection of cytomegalovirus. An Amsler grid can help you monitor your central visual field. It can detect early and subtle visual changes resulting from several macular diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema. It is also helpful in tracking changes in vision once they have been discovered. The Amsler grid tests each eye separately. This helps you to recognize visual symptoms that are only in one eye.

The above are examples of two different Amsler grids. Both are useful for monitoring central vision. The grid on the right is a modified Amsler grid (Yannuzzi card) intended to be carried in the wallet or purse for daily self-assessment.

Instructions

Ask yourself the following questions as you check each eye separately:

Note: If using a rectangular card like the one on the right above (Yannuzzi card), you should check each eye with the card held both vertically and horizontally.

If the answer to any of these questions is "yes" (and this is a new finding for you), you should contact your doctor immediately for an examination. Sometimes these changes may mean that there is leakage in the back of the eye causing swelling of the retina.

Appendix I -- Standards of Care: Client Assessment/Treatment Protocol

This assessment tool was developed by Steven Batki, M.D.; Marilyn Blake, R.N.; Valerie Gruber, Ph.D.; Ellie Milovitch, R.N.; Gale Ouye, L.C.S.W.; Kalpana Nathan, M.D.; and Richard Warren. It is currently in use at the Opiate Treatment Outpatient Program, San Francisco General Hospital, University of California at San Francisco.

A. CLIENT ASSESSMENT

B. TREATMENT PROTOCOL

General Expectations and Interventions for Methadone/LAAM Maintenance Clients

1. Attendance

1a) Target Behavior:

Clients are expected to attend (or cancel with advance notice) 90 percent or more of scheduled clinic visits each month. This includes dosing, counseling, and other visits (e.g., social services, psychiatric services, or medical services).

1b) Initial Interventions:

Clients who attend less than 90 percent of scheduled visits for 1 month will receive counseling and behavior contracts to help them reduce unscheduled absences.

1c) Clinic Response to Continued Nonadherence:

Clients who continue to attend less than 90 percent of scheduled visits despite 6 months of the interventions above will be considered for discharge.

2. Giving Urine Samples Upon Request

2a) Target Behavior:

Clients are expected to provide urine samples and Breathalyzer_ tests upon request.

2b) Initial Interventions:

Clients who refuse urine samples or Breathalyzers_ or who no-show on urine collection days once or more per month will receive counseling and behavior contracts to help them reduce refusals and/or no-shows.

2c) Clinic Response to Continued Nonadherence:

Clients who continually refuse urine samples or Breathalyzers_ or who no-show on urine collection days after 6 months of the interventions above will be considered for discharge.

3. Drug and Alcohol Use

3a) Target Behavior:

Clients are expected to provide urine samples free of illicit drugs (including opiates and non-opiates) and Breathalyzer_ tests indicating nonsignificant alcohol use no later than after 1 year in the program. Prescribed medications and medicinal marijuana are not counted as illicit drugs.

3b) Initial Interventions:

Clients who provide drug/alcohol positive samples will receive counseling and behavior contracts to help them reduce and stop their drug/alcohol use.

3c) Clinic Response to Continued Nonadherence:

Clients who continue to provide drug/alcohol positive samples for several consecutive months at 2 years in the program, AND show no progress in other areas of their life, will be considered for discharge.

Note:

Clients who are discharged may apply after 1 month to be placed on the waiting list for readmission.

Standards of Care for Clients at Various Levels of Functioning

1. Is Physical Health = 2 or less? (disabled, severe disease, weekly medical care, assistance several times per week)

IF YES -- Use Palliative Care Model

These severely medically ill clients are generally expected to meet the expectations above. There areseveral modifications with these clients:

1a) Modified expectations regarding attendance and urine samples:

On rare occasions, medical problems prevent these clients from attending clinic or providing urine samples.

1b) Modified response to continued use of illicit drugs or alcohol:

Counseling focuses on reducing substance use as well as increasing access to and adherence to medical treatment.

These clients are rarely discharged for continued drug use. This is because methadone/LAAM can prevent the serious health effects of return to heavy heroin use by medically ill clients.

IF NO -- Go to 2

2. Is Mental Health = 2 or less? (moderate to severe psychiatric impairment)

IF YES -- Use Psychiatric Model

These severely mentally ill clients are generally expected to meet the expectations above. There are several modifications with these clients:

2a) Modified expectations regarding attendance:

The expected clinic attendance is lower for clients with severe psychiatric symptoms such as cognitiveimpairment, thought disorder, or mood disorder.

2b) Modified response to continued drug or alcohol use:

Counseling focuses on reducing substance use as well as increasing access and adherence to treatment of psychiatric disorder or cognitive deficit.

These clients are rarely discharged for continued drug use. This is because methadone/LAAM can help to maintain functioning and connection to services among clients with severe psychiatric symptoms.

IF NO -- Go to 3

3. Are Social Resources = 2 or less? (insufficient or high-risk social support, housing, and/or finances)

IF YES -- Use Psychosocial Model

These clients are generally expected to meet the expectations above. There are several modifications with these clients:

3a) Modified expectations regarding attendance:

The expected attendance is lower for clients with severely deficient housing, financial, ortransportation resources.

3b) Response to continued drug or alcohol use:

Counseling focuses on reducing substance use as well as accessing housing, finances, and transportation.

Clients who, despite efforts to access housing and other basic resources, continue to be homeless and impoverished are rarely discharged for continued drug use. This is because for these clients, the methadone/LAAM clinic is often one of the last remaining resources, the loss of which may be life threatening.

IF NO -- Go to 4

4. If no scale scores are 2 or less, use Standard Treatment Model

These clients are expected to meet the general expectations above.

Figure 2-1: Models of Medical Care in Substance Abuse Treatment Programs

Figure 2-1
Models of Medical Care in Substance Abuse Treatment Programs

There is considerable variation in the levels of medical care provided by substance abuse treatment programs.

  • Inpatient treatment programs generally have fairly extensive onsite medical capabilities for providing medical care to clients or are closely affiliated with a nearby medical center. These programs can provide only acute, short-term medical care. Some residential treatment programs are affiliated with a medical center, but many have only a loose affiliation.
  • Intensive outpatient treatment programs may be located in or closely affiliated with a hospital or medical center.
  • Social model programs, whether residential or day and evening programs, have no medical capabilities and may be only loosely affiliated with a medical facility. These programs generally concentrate on providing psychosocial services.
  • Methadone maintenance programs are required to have a medical director, although this individual's active clinical presence may be minimal. Nursing staff is onsite primarily to dispense methadone or LAAM (levo-alpha-acetyl-methadol). Some methadone programs have started to develop more comprehensive onsite primary medical care services, although wide variations persist. These programs serve clients who have used heroin or other opiates.
  • Therapeutic communities are residential and generally have minimal onsite medical capabilities.

Figure 2-2: Components of Onsite Medical Systems

Figure 2-2
Components of Onsite Medical Systems

The most successful onsite medical systems provide a range of medical services, including

  • Health maintenance and prevention
  • Screening for infectious diseases (hepatitis, syphilis)
  • HIV counseling and testing
  • Prophylaxis against TB and HIV-related opportunistic infections
  • Antiretroviral therapy
  • Immunizations (pneumococcal, Haemophilus influenzae, hepatitis B)
  • Family planning and pregnancy services
  • Treatment of episodic illness, hospital followup, and coordination of care

Figure 2-3: Recommended Elements of a Contractual Arrangement For Primary Medical Care Services

Figure 2-3
Recommended Elements of a Contractual Arrangement For Primary Medical Care Services

The following are services that substance abuse treatment facilities should consider including in a contractual arrangement for primary medical care services:

  • Phlebotomy (drawing blood samples)
  • Clinical laboratory services
  • Access to physician and midlevel providers (e.g., nurse practitioner, physician's assistant)
  • Diagnostic and treatment services, such as radiology, specialty medical clinics, and hospitalization

At a minimum, freestanding substance abuse treatment units that have no physician on staff and provide no screening services for HIV should have an individual trained in HIV issues available for triage and referral when necessary.

Initial evaluation of newly diagnosed HIV infection

Baseline viral load "set point"

Decision to start or defer therapy

Every 3-4 months in clients not on therapy

Changes in viral load

Decision to start therapy

4-8 weeks after initiation of antiretroviral therapy

Initial assessment of drug efficacy

Decision to continue or change therapy

3-4 months after start of therapy

Maximal effect of therapy

Decision to continue or change therapy

Every 3-4 months in clients on therapy

Durability of antiretroviral effect

Decision to continue or change therapy

Clinical event or significant decline in CD4+ T cells

Association with changing or stable viral load

Decision to continue, initiate, or change therapy

* Acute illness (e.g., bacterial pneumonia, TB, herpes simplex virus, PCP) and immunizations can cause increases in plasma HIV RNA for 2-4 weeks; viral load testing should not be performed during this time.

** Plasma HIV RNA results should be verified with a repeat determination before starting or making changes in therapy. HIV RNA should be measured using the same laboratory and the same assay.

Figure 2-7: Interactions of HIV Medications With Street Drugs

Figure 2-7
Interactions of HIV Medications With Street Drugs

Drug

Interaction and Effects

Ecstasy

3- to 10-fold buildup of 3,4-methylene-dioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) in the blood, bruxism (teeth grinding), palpitations, joint stiffness, dehydration. Possibility of liver and kidney damage. May be deadly.

Speed/Methamphetamine

2- to 3-fold buildup of methamphetamine in the blood, increased anxiety, manic behavior, shortness of breath, racing heart beat, and dehydration.

Heroin

Heroin is metabolized more quickly; less "hit," less "buzz," withdrawal symptoms.

Special K (ketamine hydrochloride)

Buildup of ketamine is likely; increased sedation, disorientation, and hallucinations. Effects last longer.

Cocaine

Little is known about cocaine's interaction with PIs as no studies have been conducted, but if an individual has HIV, smoking, shooting, or even snorting cocaine may compromise the immune system. In one test-tube study, cocaine made HIV reproduce 20 times faster than normal.

GHB (gamma hydroxybutyric acid)

Combining GHB with the antiprotease drugs is another unknown. Like many recreational drugs, GHB may suppress the immune system.

Figure 2-8: Risks and Benefits of Early Initiation of Antiretroviral Therapy In the Asymptomatic HIV-Infected Client

Figure 2-8
Risks and Benefits of Early Initiation of Antiretroviral Therapy In the Asymptomatic HIV-Infected Client

Potential Benefits

  • Control of viral replication and mutation, reduction of viral burden
  • Prevention of progressive immunodeficiency; potential maintenance or reconstitution of a normal immune system
  • Delayed progression to AIDS and prolongation of life
  • Decreased risk of selection of resistant virus
  • Decreased risk of certain drug toxicities (such as anemia)

Potential Risks

  • Reduction in quality of life from adverse drug effects and inconvenience of current maximally suppressive regimens
  • Earlier development of drug resistance
  • Limitation in future choices of antiretroviral agents due to development of resistance
  • Unknown long-term toxicity of antiretroviral drugs
  • Unknown duration of effectiveness of current antiretroviral therapies

Figure 2-9: Recommended CD4+ T Cell Testing Frequencies and Thresholds for Initiation of Antiretroviral Therapy

Figure 2-9
Recommended CD4+ T Cell Testing Frequencies and Thresholds for Initiation of Antiretroviral Therapy

Testing Frequency

  • CD4+ T cell count = 500 and over: Every 6 months
  • CD4+ T cell count < 500 but > 50: Every 3 months
  • CD4+ T cell count < 50: Many experts see no need for testing (except in relation to initiation of new antiretroviral therapy, to observe whether therapy results in an increased CD4+ T cell count)

Antiretroviral Therapy Clinical Category

CD4+ T Cell Count and HIV RNA

Recommendation

Symptomatic (i.e., AIDS, thrush, unexplained fever)

Any value

Treat

Asymptomatic

CD4+ T cells < 500/mm3 or HIV RNA > 10,000 (bDNA) or > 20,000 (RT-PCR)

Treatment should be offered. Strength of recommendation is based on prognosis for disease-free survival and willingness of the client to accept therapy.*

Asymptomatic

CD4+ T cells > 500/mm3 and HIV RNA < 10,000 (bDNA) or < 20,000 (RT-PCR)

Many experts would delay therapy and observe; however, some experts would treat.

*Some experts would observe clients whose CD4+ T cell counts are between 350 and 500/mm3 and HIV RNA levels < 10,000 (bDNA) or < 20,000 (RT-PCR). Source: CDC, 1998i.

Medication

Dosage

Common side effects

AZT, ZDV (Retrovir) Combivir is one pill containing AZT and lamivudine; it is not a different drug.

Take 2 or 3 times daily, with or without food.

May cause anemia. Some are afraid to take AZT because for many years it was used alone, but clients died anyway. In combination it can be far more effective. Do not combine with stavudine.

Stavudine (Zerit)

Take 2 times daily, with or without food.

If numbness or tingling develops in the toes, see a medical professional. Do not combine with AZT.

Lamivudine (Epivir)

Take 2 times daily, with or without food.

Active against hepatitis B. Discontinuing in the face of persistent hepatitis B can result in a flareup of hepatitis B. Do not combine with zalcitabine. Can be combined with AZT and called Combivir; can also be combined with didanosine.

Didanosine (Videx)

Take 1 or 2 times daily, without food.

If numbness or tingling develops in the toes, see a medical professional. If persistent abdominal pain with or without vomiting develops, see a medical professional immediately.

Figure 2-13: Prophylactic Regimens

Figure 2-13
Prophylactic Regimens

Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP)

Indications. All clients with CD4+ T cell counts of 200 or below; all clients with oral candidiasis, recurrent bacterial infections, TB, and chronic constitutional symptoms; and all clients with a history of PCP, regardless of CD4+ T cell count, should receive PCP prophylaxis.

Dosage. TMP-SMX is the most effective prophylactic agent. One double-strength tablet daily (160 mg TMP + 800 mg SMX) is commonly prescribed. One double-strength tablet 3 times weekly is also acceptable; however, daily dosing may promote adherence. One single-strength tablet daily (80 mg TMP + 400 mg SMX) may also be effective. Dapsone (50 mg per day, 100 mg per day, 100 mg 3 times weekly) is an alternative for clients who cannot tolerate TMP-SMX. Aerosolized pentamidine (NebuPent), 1 x 300 mg monthly by nebulizer, is an option in settings with adequate ventilation.

Side effects. TMP-SMX: rash, leukopenia, nausea/vomiting, liver function abnormalities, fever. Side effects are usually dose related. HIV+ clients should be monitored for sulfonamide allergy because they have a high incidence of allergic and/or other reactions to this class of drug. Dapsone: rash, nausea/vomiting, anemia. Aerosolized pentamidine: cough, bronchospasm, metallic taste. Desensitization and rechallenge protocols for TMP-SMX.

Complications. TMP-SMX: Stevens-Johnson syndrome, mucous membrane ulceration, hepatitis, serum sickness (infrequent). Dapsone: hemolytic anemia in G6PD-deficient clients. Peripheral neuropathy or other nervous system effects (infrequent). Pentamidine: Breakthrough PCP, extrapulmonary pneumocystosis.

Management of pregnant clients. Same indications as for clients who are not pregnant. TMP-SMX should be given until 36 weeks' gestation, then give aerosolized pentamidine to prevent neonatal exposure to sulfonamides.

Toxoplasmosis

Indications. Positive antitoxoplasma antibody test, especially for clients with CD4+ T cell counts < 100 and/or a history of HIV symptomatic disease.

Dosage. TMP-SMX (see "PCP Prophylaxis," above) has been suggested by several studies to offer protection against toxoplasmosis. Dapsone (100 mg 3 times weekly) plus pyrimethamine (Daraprim)
(50 mg 1 time weekly) is an alternative for clients who cannot tolerate TMP-SMX.

Side Effects. TMP-SMX: See "PCP Prophylaxis," above. Pyrimethamine: Rash and anemia or leukopenia are possible but unlikely at 50 mg/week dose.

Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC)

Indications. Clients most at risk are those with late-stage HIV disease (CD4+ T cell count < 50).

Dosage. Azithromycin 1,200 mg weekly or clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily. Rifabutin is approved for prophylaxis; 300 mg daily has been shown to be effective. Rifabutin for MAC prophylaxis is contraindicated in clients with active TB; exclude active TB before initiating therapy. Rifabutin has multiple potential drug interactions.

Side Effects. Nausea/vomiting, gastrointestinal distress, rash, brown-orange discoloration of urine (rifabutin only). Rifabutin may interact adversely with other HIV medications (fluconazole, clarithromycin) and may accelerate methadone and other opioid metabolism.

Cryptococcosis

Indications. Infrequent complication of HIV infection.

Dosage. Fluconazole may have a prophylactic effect, but routine prophylaxis could promote the development of resistant fungi (e.g., candida species).

Herpes simplex virus (HSV)

Indications. Recurrent HSV infection (most common in the genital area). Likelihood of recurrence increases with declining CD4+ T cell count. No strict threshold for initiation of prophylaxis.

Dosage. VAL Acyclovir (Zovirax) 500 mg two or three times a day

Figure 2-14: Immunizations in HIV-Infected Clients

Figure 2-14
Immunizations in HIV-Infected Clients

  • The CDC recommends immunization of HIV-infected individuals against pneumococcal pneumonia, influenza, and hepatitis B.
  • Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine and hepatitis A vaccine may also be considered.
  • HIV-infected clients are likely to benefit from and unlikely to be harmed by immunization against polio (using killed polio vaccine), diphtheria, and tetanus.
  • Measles vaccination should be considered for HIV-infected substance abuse disorder clients at risk of contracting measles.
  • Immunization is more effective in clients who are not severely immunocompromised.

Figure 3-3: Use of Medications for Psychiatric Disorders in HIV-Infected Substance Abusers

Figure 3-3
Use of Medications for Psychiatric Disorders in HIV-Infected Substance Abusers

A hierarchical or stepwise strategy should be followed in prescribing medications to HIV-infected substance abusers. Low doses of safer and less abusable medications should be tried first, and higher doses or less safe agents used only if the initial approach is ineffective.

Sleep Disorders
When treating sleep disorders in patients who have HIV/AIDS and substance abuse disorders, choose an approach that minimizes abuse potential.

First Tier

  • Simple "sleep hygiene" aids such as a glass of warm milk, a warm bath, meditation, or soothing music are the first recommended ways to deal with insomnia.

Second Tier

  • Trazodone (Desyrel) is an antidepressant and sleeping medication with no known abuse potential and low adverse effects. Dosage can start at 25 to 50 mg at bedtime and increase as needed to 100 to 200 mg. Side effects include hypotension (low blood pressure) and very rarely priapism (persistent painful erection). (Priapism occurs in fewer than 1 in 4,000 men taking trazodone.)
  • Doses of Hydroxyzine (Vistaril, Atarax) or diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can start at 25 to 50 mg at bedtime and increase to 100 to 150 mg. These medications are generally moderate in abuse potential, but they can cause anticholinergic side effects, such as dry mouth and lowering of the seizure threshold if given in very high doses (over 250 mg per day).
  • Mirtazapine (Remeron) is a sedating antidepressant. In the lower end of this dose range (15 mg taken at bedtime), mirtazapine can be effective in helping initiate sleep. Side effects include weight gain. Mirtazapine is probably safer than antihistamines or tricyclics (see below).
  • Doses of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) such as amitriptyline or doxepin (Sinequan) for sleep can start at 25 to 50 mg at bedtime. TCAs have numerous adverse effects (see "Mood Disorders" section below) and are often lethal in overdose amounts (> 1 g [1,000 mg]). These antidepressants also are often abused by patients in methadone programs (especially amitriptyline).
  • Sedating antipsychotic medications such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine) should be used only in the presence of psychotic or manic symptoms, never for insomnia alone.

Third Tier

  • If the medications listed above fail, a brief course of benzodiazepines should be considered, preferably on a short-term basis (ideally, for less than 2 weeks). They should be moderately short acting, such as temazepam (Restoril) and lorazepam (Ativan), to minimize accumulation of medication and resultant sedation. An alternative agent that shares most of the properties of benzodiazepines, but may be somewhat less abusable, is zolpidem (Ambien).
  • Ultra-short-acting agents such as triazolam (Halcion) should be avoided because they may cause withdrawal psychosis and confusion, including memory loss. Be cautious when prescribing long-acting medications such as diazepam (Valium) because of their cumulative effects. Flurazepam (Dalmane) also can have cumulative effects and may cause morning confusion ("hangover"). Caution is also urged with alprazolam (Xanax), which may be more abusable than other benzodiazepines and is associated with considerable rebound anxiety.

Anxiety

Chronic anxiety

First Tier

  • Alternatives to pharmacologic intervention include relaxation techniques, meditation, supportive psychotherapy, and counseling, as well as stress management and reduction, and possibly acupuncture. Some of these approaches should be tried before medications are introduced.

Second Tier

  • Buspirone (Buspar) is a nonabusable medication for chronic anxiety, such as in generalized anxiety disorder. Buspirone is not effective in the treatment of acute anxiety, as it takes at least 2 weeks to act.
  • Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as sertraline (Zoloft), fluoxetine (Prozac), and paroxetine (Paxil), have been shown to be effective in the treatment of panic disorder. Due to their delayed onset of action, SSRIs are not effective for treating acute anxiety.
  • TCAs such as imipramine (Tofranil) also are alternatives to potentially dependence-producing agents such as the benzodiazepines and have been demonstrated to be effective for treating both generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder. They are not effective for acute anxiety.
  • Patients must be warned that it is usually necessary to take buspirone, SSRIs, or TCAs for at least 2 weeks before antianxiety effects are felt.

Third Tier

See third-tier section of Sleep Disorders above with the same cautions for the use of benzodiazepines: Choose relatively short-acting medications for limited-time use and at limited dosages.

Acute anxiety

  • Other possible alternatives to the benzodiazepines for treatment of acute anxiety disorders are beta-blockers such as propranolol (Inderal) and the antihypertensive agent clonidine. However, clonidine may pose a danger of overdose and should be dispensed in limited amounts (e.g., 1 week's supply). Hydroxyzine (Vistaril, Atarax) can also be used in doses of 25 to 50 mg in the daytime as needed as an antianxiety agent, although it is highly sedating. If these fail, then short-term use (less than 2 or 3 weeks) of benzodiazepines may be indicated.
  • Antipsychotics should not be used to treat anxiety if there is no evidence of psychosis, mania, or severe dementia. (Whenever possible, psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, should be tried before moving on to pharmacological treatments for panic disorder.)

Panic attacks

First Tier

  • A nonbenzodiazepine medication such as an SSRI (e.g., sertraline) or if an SSRI fails, then a TCA, such as desipramine, should be administered. Dosing should start very low and then advance gradually to levels approaching those used to treat depression. For example, sertraline should be begun at no more than 25 mg per day, but may be increased to 50 or 100 mg per day; fluoxetine should be started at 10 mg per day and may be increased to 20 mg per day; paroxetine should be started at 10 mg per day and increased to 30 if needed. TCAs may have to be started as low as 10 mg per day and gradually increased over several weeks to as much as 150 mg per day if needed. Response takes 2 to 4 weeks. TCAs have numerous moderately troublesome side effects (see "Mood Disorders" section below) and can be lethal in overdose amounts (> 1 g [1,000 mg]).

Second Tier

  • If SSRIs or TCAs are ineffective, too risky, or not tolerated because of adverse effects, benzodiazepines should be used. Alprazolam is probably the most frequently used benzodiazepine, but may not be the best choice in patients with substance abuse disorders because of its relatively short duration of action and the need for multiple daily doses. Diazepam or chlordiazepoxide (Librium) may be preferable because they may produce slower onset of side effects. Any benzodiazepine is likely to be effective when used in divided doses totaling approximately 10 to 60 mg per day of diazepam or its equivalents.
  • See "Sleep Disorders" section for the risks of benzodiazepine use.

Mood Disorders

Major depressive disorders

First Tier

  • The initial approach should include supportive psychotherapy (individual or group) and possibly peer-based supportive counseling. If these approaches fail, however, pharmacologic interventions should be made readily available to the substance abuse disorder patient with HIV/AIDS.
  • A careful evaluation must always be done before medications are prescribed. Mood disorder patients are at risk of suicide. Patients also should be warned that it usually is necessary to take medications for at least 2 weeks before antidepressant effects are felt.

Second Tier

  • The SSRI antidepressants-fluoxetine, 20 mg per day; sertraline, 100 to 200 mg per day; paroxetine, 20 to 50 mg per day; citilopram (Celexa) 20 to 40 mg per day; and fluvoxamine (Luvox) 100 to 300 mg per day--are all safe and effective. They tend to be nonsedating and generally are safe even in overdoses. They are usually the most tolerable antidepressants. Side effects in 10 to 20 percent of patients may include jitteriness, insomnia, muscle tightness or twitching, mild appetite loss, and mild gastrointestinal illness, as well as some loss of sexual interest and delayed orgasm or ejaculation.
  • Trazodone also is safe but its sedating properties limit its usefulness. Patients can rarely take it in large enough doses or in the divided doses necessary for antidepressant effectiveness. However, it can be useful as a sleeping medication.
  • Bupropion (Wellbutrin SR) is a non-TCA that is generally safer in overdose than the TCAs. It is more complicated to use than the SSRIs because it must be given in two divided doses totalling 200 to 300 mg per day. Bupropion tends to increase the risk of seizures more than than with other antidepressants. Note: bupropion levels are increased by coadministration of the protease inhibitor ritonavir.
  • Nefazodone (Serzone) is also a non-TCA, and is generally better tolerated than TCAs. It may be helpful for patients who experience sleep difficulties or adverse sexual effects because of SSRIs. Nefazodone generally is given in at least two doses per day, with a daily dose ranging from 300 to 600 mg/day. Side effects may include light-headedness, visual disturbance, and mild sedation.
  • Mirtazapine is yet another non-TCA. It is sedating and is associated with weight gain, but has few adverse effects on sexual functioning and can be given in a single nighttime dose ranging from 15 to 45 mg per day.
  • Citalopram was recently approved by the FDA for use as an antidepressant. The drug is a new addition to the SSRIs, which are now considered the preferred agents for treatment of this condition. The most common adverse effects of citalopram are nausea, dry mouth, increased sweating, somnolence, and insomnia. A few men have reported difficulty with ejaculation and temporary impotence. No serious cardiovascular side effects have been reported with use of the drug during clinical trials. Some patients may experience a slight weight loss during therapy. The incidence of some adverse events increases as the dose of drug increases. Citalopram can be administered in either 20 or 40 mg doses daily.

Third Tier

  • TCAs are not addictive, but they have a number of troublesome side effects, including dry mouth and short-term memory loss. Other side effects--blurry vision, constipation, tremor, and low blood pressure--may contribute to falls, weight gain, and oversedation. Side effects may be offset by low dosages. HIV-infected patients may be more sensitive to side effects. Substance-abusing patients may be more likely to request TCAs that have sedating effects, such as doxepin and amitriptyline.
  • All of the TCAs are lethal in overdose and should not be given to unmonitored suicidal patients.

Fourth Tier

  • Psychostimulants may be useful for late-stage AIDS patients with severe psychomotor retardation (Fernandez, 1990). Some dramatic, rapid improvement has been observed.
  • Methylphenidate (Ritalin) is the safest and easiest to manage of the psychostimulants. Methylphenidate and amphetamines such as dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine) should not be used until other medications have failed, but they should not be withheld solely because of a patient's substance abuse history. Psychostimulants should be administered early in the day and monitored carefully because they cause insomnia. If prescribed to an outpatient, daily dispensing is recommended. If this is impractical, prescriptions should be written for limited quantities and compliance closely monitored.
  • Other side effects of psychostimulants include jitteriness, agitation, delusions, hallucinations, and anorexia, as well as abuse and dependence.
  • Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors should be avoided unless all other treatments fail. Use of these medications requires dietary restrictions and carries the potential for lethal hypertensive interactions with other drugs.

Bipolar disorder

  • When evaluating the substance abuser with mania, clinicians must consider that the disorder is caused by abuse of substances such as stimulants.
  • Lithium is as effective in substance-abusing patients with HIV/AIDS as in the general population in treating mania caused by bipolar disorder. It has no known abuse potential but must be monitored carefully because of side effects, which include dehydration, diarrhea, and altered mental state. Other adverse effects of lithium include tremor, excessive thirst, frequent urination, and weight gain.
  • The anticonvulsant medication carbamazepine (Tegretol) is also useful but it can cause severe neutropenia (bone marrow suppression). This may be dangerous when combined with AZT, which has a similar adverse effect.
  • Patients maintained on methadone and carbamazepine may induce liver enzymes that can metabolize methadone more rapidly than normal and lead to opiate withdrawal symptoms, which may necessitate higher doses of methadone.
  • Valproic acid or divalproex sodium (Depakote) is another alternative to lithium. It avoids the problems of carbamazepine and may be safer but is less proven as a mood stabilizer.

Psychosis/Severe Manic States

  • Psychosis is frequently caused by substance abuse such as "crack" cocaine intoxication or alcohol withdrawal. Substance abuse should always be evaluated thoroughly before prescribing.
  • Antipsychotic medications are nonaddictive and can be used effectively to treat both acute mania and psychosis. The lowest possible effective dosage should be used, with side effects closely monitored, and the patient should be frequently reevaluated. Abuse of antipsychotic medications, even by substance abusers, is rare.
  • Antipsychotic medications include the older or "typical" agents such as haloperidol (Haldol), chlorpromazine, and many others, as well as the newer, "atypical" agents such as risperidone (Risperdal), olanzapine (Zyprexa), quetiapine (Seroquel), and clozapine (Clozaril). These medications are also occasionally used for the management of agitated confusional states, such as in late-stage dementia.
  • Clozapine should probably be avoided in most HIV-infected patients because it can cause profound reduction of bone marrow and blood cell production in 1 to 2 percent of patients.
  • Some patients develop extrapyramidal side effects (EPS)-involuntary muscle spasms, jerking, muscle stiffness, or tremor-from antipsychotic medications. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and other medications can be used to counter EPS, but these agents can produce anticholinergic side effects such as dry mouth, agitation, and confusional states. An alternative medication to treat EPS may be amantadine (Symmetrel).
  • High-potency antipsychotic medications that have the fewest sedating or anticholinergic adverse effects, such as haloperidol, may have the most EPS side effects. EPS may be more severe in HIV-infected patients than in otherwise healthy patients with psychoses.
  • Other adverse effects of antipsychotic medications include oversedation, low blood pressure, constipation, dry mouth, and blurry vision.

The San Francisco--UCSF AIDS Health Project's AIDS Substance Abuse Program

This group, sponsored by San Francisco General Hospital, is a popular support group for HIV-infected substance abusers who are ill or recently discharged from the hospital. Groups meet in a conference room adjacent to the main hospital cafeteria. Participants who are recovering from substance use discuss their experiences of withdrawal, and current abusers discuss the difficulties of discontinuing substance use. Members of the group also discuss whether abstinence should be the goal of all members of the group.

Figure 4-3: Use of Bleach for Disinfection of Drug Injection Equipment

Figure 4-3
Use of Bleach for Disinfection of Drug Injection Equipment

On April 19, 1993, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse issued a joint bulletin updating recommendations to prevent HIV transmission through the use of bleach to disinfect drug injection equipment. Thebulletin particularly addresses persons who cannot or will not stop injecting drugs. This bulletin states that:

  1. Bleach disinfection of needles and syringes continues to play an important role in reducing the risk of HIV transmission for injection drug uses who reuse or share them.
  2. Sterile, never-used needles and syringes are safer than bleachdisinfected, previously used needles and syringes.

The bulletin contains provision recommendations for the use of bleach to disinfect needles and syringes (including the recommendation for using full-strength household bleach). CDC recommendations for disinfecting environmental surfaces contaminated with blood are unchanged.

Provisional Recommendations

There is currently insufficient laboratory and behavioral research to make definitive recommendations on the best procedures for bleach disinfection. However, the following steps will enhance the effectiveness of bleach disinfection of needles and syringes:

  • Cleaning should be done twice-once immediately after use and again just before reuse of needles and syringes.
  • Before using bleach, wash out the needle and syringe by filling them several times with clean water. (This will reduce the amount of blood and other debris in the syringe. Blood reduces the effectiveness of bleach.)
  • Use full-strength liquid household bleach (not diluted bleach).
  • Completely fill the needle and syringe with bleach several times. (Some suggest filling the syringe at least three times.)
  • The longer the syringe is completely full of bleach, the more likely HIV will be inactivated. (Some suggest the syringe should be full of bleach for at least 30 seconds.)
  • After using bleach, rinse the syringe and needle by filling several times with clean water. Don't reuse water used for initial prebleach washing; it may be contaminated.
  • For every filling of the needle and syringe with prebleach wash water, bleach, and rinse water, fill the syringe to the top.
  • Shaking and tapping the syringe are recommended when the syringe is filled with pre-bleach wash water, bleach, and rinse water. Shaking the syringe should improve the effectiveness of all steps.
  • Taking the syringe apart (removing the plunger) may improve the cleaning/disinfection of parts (e.g., behind the plunger) that might not be reached by solutions in the syringe.

Staff of HIV prevention programs should review how the use of bleach is currently taught and promoted and how injection drug users are using bleach. The principles of bleach disinfection just described should be incorporated into guidance provided to them. Program staff, outreach staff, and drug users should work together to develop easily understood messages to communicate these steps.

Figure 4-4: Universal Precautions for Substance Abuse Treatment Programs Treating HIV-Infected Clients

Figure 4-4
Universal Precautions for Substance Abuse Treatment Programs Treating HIV-Infected Clients

Transmission of HIV is highly unlikely within institutions such as health care facilities, residential facilities, correctional facilities, residences, and substance abuse treatment programs when universal precautions are observed.

Because medical history and examination cannot reliably identify all HIV-infected patients, universal precautions should be used consistently with all patients.

1. Barrier Precautions
In any setting in which workers may come into contact with a patient's blood or bodily fluids, the following precautions should always be observed:

  • Gloves should be worn when touching blood or bodily fluids, mucous membranes, or nonintact skin; handling items or surfaces soiled with blood or bodily fluids; or performing vascular access procedures such as venipuncture (inserting a syringe into a vein to draw blood or administer fluids).
  • Gloves should be changed after each patient contact.
  • Masks and protective eyewear should be worn during any procedure likely to expose mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, and eyes to droplets of blood or other bodily fluids.
  • Gowns or aprons should be worn during procedures likely to generate splashes of blood or other bodily fluids.
  • Hands and other skin surfaces should be washed immediately and thoroughly when contaminated with blood or other bodily fluids and whenever gloves are removed.

2. Use of Sharp Instruments
The following precautions should be taken to prevent injuries when using, cleaning, disposing of, or otherwise handling syringes, scalpels, and other sharp instruments:

  • Do not recap syringes, bend or break them by hand, remove needles from disposable syringes, or otherwise handle them.
  • Place disposable "sharps" in puncture-resistant disposal containers immediately after use.
  • Place large-bore reusable syringes in puncture-resistant containers for reprocessing.

3. Other Precautions

  • Ventilation devices such as mouthpieces and resuscitation bags should be available for use in areas where the need for resuscitation is predictable.
  • Workers with exudative (oozing) lesions or weeping dermatitis should refrain from all direct patient care and from handling patient care equipment until their condition resolves.
  • Pregnant workers should be especially familiar with, and should strictly adhere to, all of the above precautions.

Figure 5-2: Listening to Clients

Figure 5-6
Listening to Clients

The Hilltop Center program in Longview, Texas, has clearly laid out the expectation that staff members must listen to clients from the beginning to gain a real understanding of where these clients are in their lives. Staff members are asked not to use labels or tag clients with what may be judgmental treatment jargon, such as

  • "He's in denial and very resistant and hasn't hit rock bottom yet."
  • "She's a borderline personality disorder."

Labels such as these do not help to develop an effective intervention and treatment plan or help the client and counselor to start working toward recovery.

Figure 6-1: Helpful Questions To Ask When Assessing a Client's Needs

Figure 6-1
Helpful Questions To Ask When Assessing a Client's Needs

  • Do you have a doctor?
  • How often do you see your doctor?
  • What do you see your doctor for?
  • Are there other physical concerns bothering you that you don't discuss with your doctor? If so, what are they?
  • Has your doctor prescribed medications of any kind for you to take?
  • Could you give me the names of the medications? Or may I see the medications?
  • Could you tell me what each medication is for and when you take it?
  • Are you having any problems taking your medications?
  • Are you satisfied with your medical care and with your doctor?

Figure 6-2: Forming a Multidisciplinary Team

Figure 6-2
Forming a Multidisciplinary Team

  1. Determine who the significant providers are in the client's network of care. Depending on the setting and area, there may be several candidates for the multidisciplinary team. When considering a biopsychosocial model, it is useful to have a representative from the client's medical, psychological, and social treatment providers. This could include a social worker, a physician, an alcohol and drug counselor, an HIV/AIDS case manager, and perhaps a representative from an agency (e.g., day health program) with whom the client has frequent contact. Additionally, consideration should be given to the cultural and linguistic makeup of the group.
  2. The group can be a fixed one, in which members review the needs of several clients on an ongoing basis, or the group can form as needed for a specific client. Within fixed groups, members tend to be the same core set of providers, perhaps adding specific providers for a particular client's situation. The group that forms on an as-needed basis can be made up of different members each time.
  3. When the group is brought together, members should first discuss the expectations of group members, the rules for how the group will interact, and how the group will structure the time. Time should be built in so that adaptations can be made as needed.
    • Expectations. Group members should discuss what it is that they want to achieve. Does the group exist to provide brief information about the clients to ensure a basic level of communication, or does it exist to solve problems and provide consultation about each others' clients?
    • Rules. Ground rules should be determined by the group members. Rules can include arrival and start times for meetings, keeping whatever is discussed in the group confidential, not interrupting when other group members are speaking, and not allowing one group member to dominate the discussion. Rules will vary depending on the purpose and structure of the group.
    • Structure. Group structure should be discussed so that meetings can be the most productive and efficient for all the busy professionals involved. Questions should be asked, such as "How much time will be spent on each client?," "How will the group document its work?," "Will there be a facilitator and/or a timekeeper?," and "Who puts together the agenda?"
  4. Establishing formalized linkages with other agencies is one means of building a team. Affiliation agreements, for example, between a public health department and a hospital that serves low-income pregnant women can allow for formalized sharing of client information as well as a partnership approach to serving the client. It is important to discuss issues such as identifying the roles and responsibilities of each party, the mode of collaboration, and who the participants will be. An affiliation agreement should be drawn up that includes a renewal date for the agreement, so that both parties have the opportunity to periodically reconsider the reason for affiliating.
  5. In multisystem work, there can be several case managers. If possible, one "lead" case manager should be identified who has the responsibility to ensure that services are coordinated. This lead person can also bring together the various providers for ad hoc multidisciplinary meetings.
  6. Confidentiality should be kept in mind when forming multidisciplinary teams. It is imperative that the group keep client information confidential, and it is necessary that the client agree to allow the treatment professional to share information with the other members of the group.

  • _____Working with a substance-abusing client who is gay or lesbian.
  • _____Differentiating between depression, anxiety, delirium, psychosis, and substance abuse disorders.
  • _____Demonstrating the proper way to disinfect drug injection equipment.
  • _____Counseling an HIV-infected female client who is pregnant and actively using substances.
  • _____Referring a substance-abusing client to a local syringe exchange program.
  • _____Accompanying a client to an open meeting of Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
  • _____Confronting a colleague on his suspected substance abuse.
  • _____Advocating that an HIV-infected client with a history of substance abuse be placed on HIV combination therapy.
  • _____Supporting a non-substance-abusing client with HIV/AIDS who is considering using marijuana to help curb nausea and increase appetite.
  • _____Confronting a client who is actively putting others at risk.
  • _____Confronting a client whom you believe is not adhering to a medication regimen but who claims to be.

  • Would you go to a physician whom you knew or believed to be gay or lesbian if he or she were a different gender from you? If he or she were the same gender as you? If not, why not?
  • If someone you cared about said to you, "I think I'm lesbian or gay," would you suggest that the person see a therapist?
  • Have you ever been to a gay or lesbian social club, party, bar, or sporting event? If not, why not?
  • Would you wear a button that says, "How dare you assume that I'm heterosexual?" If not, why not?
  • Can you think of three positive aspects of a lesbian or gay lifestyle? Can you think of three negative aspects of a heterosexual lifestyle?
  • Have you ever laughed at or told a "queer" joke?

Figure 7-3: Guidelines To Minimize Cultural Clashes

Figure 7-3
Guidelines To Minimize Cultural Clashes

  1. Plan to spend more time with clients holding values different from yours. The relationship is more complex, and it may take longer to establish trust.
  2. Anticipate that past frustrations with insensitive or inappropriate providers may have made the client angry, suspicious, and resentful.
  3. Acknowledge past frustrations.
  4. Acknowledge the difference between your own experience and that of the client's.
  5. Individualize (the clear message of all treatment planning)-a client is more than an "addict," an Asian, or a person with HIV/AIDS. Get to know the whole person.
  6. Encourage disagreement and negotiation to ensure a workable plan.
  7. Anticipate multiple needs: medical, legal, social, and psychological.
  8. Be prepared to advocate for the client who may not have the resources, knowledge, or experience to negotiate the HIV/AIDS and substance abuse services systems.
  9. Assist the client in getting other resources.
  10. Involve friends and family. This can help ensure that the client receives other needed services.
  11. Pay attention to communication: nonverbal, expressive style, and word usage and meaning.
  12. Make use of providers from other cultures.
  13. Learn the strengths of a culture. In Hispanic culture, for example, the value of "respeto," demonstrating appropriate social respect, can be used to support an intervention plan.
  14. Expect differences in beliefs about
    • Help-seeking behaviors
    • Caretaking/caregiving
    • Cause of disease/illness
    • Sexuality/homosexuality
    • Death and dying
    • Making eye contact and touching

Do

Don't

  • Use the pronouns based on their self-identity when speaking to or about transgender individuals.
  • Obtain clinical supervision if you have reservations about working with transgender individuals.
  • Allow transgender clients to continue the use of hormones when prescribed; advocate for the transgender client who is using "street" or illegally prescribed hormones to receive immediate medical care and legally prescribed hormones.
  • Ensure that all clinic staff receive training on transgender issues.
  • Ascertain a transgender client's sexual orientation before treating him or her.
  • Allow transgender clients to use appropriate bathrooms and showers based on their gender self-identity and gender role.
  • Require all clients and staff to create and maintain a hospitable environment for all transgender clients. Post a nondiscrimination policy, including sexual orientation and gender identity, in the waiting room.
  • Call someone who identifies as female "he" or "him," or someone who identifies as male "she" or "her."
  • Make transphobic comments to other staff or clients.
  • Ask the transgender client to choose between hormone therapy or substance abuse treatment.
  • Leave it to the transgender client to educate clinic staff.
  • Assume all transgender individuals are gay.
  • Force transgender clients identifying as male to use female facilities; likewise, don't force those identifying as female to use male facilities.

Figure 7-6: Reproductive Decisionmaking Questions

Figure 7-6
Reproductive Decisionmaking Questions

  • Statistics and information are constantly changing. The latest research from NIH still supports the Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Group Protocol 076 study, which indicated that about 8 percent of women treated with AZT during pregnancy and delivery transmitted HIV to their infants. It is unclear to date what the long-term health ramifications are for children who received AZT in utero and at birth. Are you willing to run the risk of having a child who is infected or has been affected by medications used to counter HIV infection?
  • Are you able and willing to love and care for a baby, whether or not it is infected?
  • How will pregnancy affect your health? In women with high T-cell counts, pregnancy has not been shown to make HIV/AIDS progress, but less is known about women who have AIDS or symptomatic HIV disease.
  • Do you have the support of a partner, family members, or friends who can help care for a child?
  • Who will care for your child if you become sick or die? Will there be people who will teach your child about his culture, help your child remember you, and raise your child according to your values?
  • In what ways (good or bad) will having a baby change your life?
  • What are the reasons that you want (or do not want) to have a child?
  • Do you have children now? How are things with them?
  • Do you feel pressured by others (partners, family, friends, your religion, cultural values) to have (or not have) a child?
  • Do you have a family physician or obstetrician who knows about HIV/AIDS and who can give you the health care that you need?
  • Do you have enough information to make an informed decision? If not, find someone who can give you information and who will not insist on telling you what to do.
  • Are you willing and able to go without substances for at least 9 months? Do you know how their use will affect your unborn child?

Figure 7-7: Case Study: Heterosexual Minority Men Living With HIV

Figure 7-7
Case Study: Heterosexual Minority Men Living With HIV

One recent study recruited 18 HIV-positive, heterosexual, minority men from an outpatient HIV/AIDS clinic in upstate New York and a community-based AIDS service organization in New York City to explore the experience of heterosexual minority men living with HIV. Findings revealed that the experience of surviving HIV infection encompassed several stages.

The participants in this study identified the choices they made in adolescence that led them down a hazardous pattern of behavior as the majority became involved in substance abuse or other illicit activities. With the diagnosis of HIV infection came a "falling off" stage, in which the participants went "over the edge" and initially were afraid to die but then realized that they were okay but vulnerable.

The next stage was "hanging on," in which study participants attempted to reassert control, reevaluated priorities, and developed a new perspective on life and health. In the "pulling up" stage, participants realized that the rescue team included self, God, family, and friends, with self-rescue taking place on emotional, physical, and spiritual levels.

As the participants reached the "turning around" stage, they began to accept responsibility for their health, focused on their abilities rather than their limitations, and began to see themselves as "living with HIV" rather than "dying from HIV."
