Who is the study for?
The HEAT Program is for individuals with substance use disorders, including opioid and stimulant use, who may also be living with or at risk for HIV.

What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves service delivery methods (standard of care vs. telemedicine), there aren't direct side effects like you'd expect from a drug trial. However, participants might experience technical difficulties or feel less satisfied with remote interactions compared to face-to-face visits.
