Study Description: This study leveraged a current partnership with HIV Alliance, an Oregon-based nonprofit dedicated to supporting individuals living with HIV/AIDS and preventing new HIV infections, to embed a COVID-19 testing program with a brief motivational enhancement intervention in their Syringe Services Programs (SSPs). SSPs offer a natural venue for testing as well as vaccination, when available, for people who inject drugs. This project was undertaken to enhance COVID-19 testing access and reach for a significantly underserved population that is vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 transmission and at increased risk for severe COVID-19 symptoms.
