People who inject drugs (PWID) are at exceptionally high risk of contracting HIV and viral hepatitis. The European Joint Action on HIV and Co-infection Prevention and Harm Reduction (HA-REACT) addresses gaps in the prevention of HIV and other co-infections in the European Union. This session will focus on harm reduction services in Europe for PWID, presenting new findings and good practices from this major European project. Good practices include e.g. tailored low threshold services for women who use drugs, harm reduction for prisoners, and mobile unit outreach work. Barriers of access to prevention and treatment services, as well as integration of care for PWID will be discussed in the session. Session objectives are to disseminate information on findings of the HA-REACT Joint Action and to provoke discussion with other Health Programme activities on challenges and good practices of prevention of HIV and co-infections and integration of care for PWID.
