Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of using a mobile health delivery unit ("mobile unit") to deliver "one stop" integrated health services - particularly medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and medication for HIV treatment and prevention - to people who inject drugs (PWID) with opioid use disorder (OUD) to improve uptake and use of MOUD, and uptake and use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) or pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
HIV Infections Drug Use Opioid Use Opioid-use Disorder Drug: Medication for opioid-use disorder (MOUD) for opioid-use disorder (OUD) Diagnostic Test: HIV testing Drug: HIV treatment for participants living with HIV not already in care Drug: PrEP for participants without HIV Diagnostic Test: Testing and referral for vaccination or treatment for hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) Diagnostic Test: Testing and referral for treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) Diagnostic Test: Sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing and treatment Other: Primary care Behavioral: Harm reduction services Behavioral: Peer navigation Diagnostic Test: COVID-19 testing and referral for further evaluation, care and/or treatment Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of using a mobile health delivery unit ("mobile unit") to deliver "one stop" integrated health services - particularly medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and medication for HIV treatment and prevention - to people who inject drugs (PWID) with opioid use disorder (OUD) to improve uptake and use of MOUD, and uptake and use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) or pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). The intervention arm receiving health services in the mobile unit will be supported by peer navigation. An active control arm will receive peer navigation to health services available at community-based agencies. Impact (cost-effectiveness, mathematical modeling) and implementation factors (mixed methods to identify barriers and facilitators of the interventions) will contextualize findings from the efficacy analysis. The impact of the COVID-19 epidemic in the study population will also be assessed.
