Beyond Overdose: Drug-related Deaths in People with and without HIV in San Francisco, 2007 – 2018

Abstract

Despite elevated mortality in people with HIV (PWH) using drugs, drug-related deaths are poorly characterized. Among 6764 drug-related deaths, methamphetamine was more common in PWH than others. One in 4 deaths in PWH involved acute infection. Combatting mortality in PWH who use drugs should include stimulant-specific and infection prevention efforts.
