“…In Colombia, cocaine use was associated with sharing drug mixtures and less condom usage [ 64 ]. In Brazil, high-risk sexual behaviors were more likely in users that snorted cocaine versus those than smoked cocaine [ 66 , 81 ]. More risky sexual behaviors were found in heroin-users in Brazil [ 82 ], heroin plus methamphetamine users in Mexico [ 83 ], and polydrug or poly route SU in Mexico [ 84 ].…”

This scoping review aims to explore the interplay between substance use (SU) and HIV in Latin America (LA). Database searches yielded 3481 references; 196 were included. HIV prevalence among people who used substances (PWUS) ranged from 2.8–15.2%. SU definitions were variable throughout studies, and thus data were not easily comparable. In 2019, only 2% of new HIV infections were attributed to injection drug use (IDU) in LA. Factors associated with HIV among PWUS included being female, IDU and homelessness, and PWUS were likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors, start antiretroviral treatment late, have poor adherence, have treatment failure, be lost to follow-up, have comorbidities, and experience higher mortality rates and lower quality of life, as has been reported in PLWH with SU in other regions. Five intervention studies were identified, and only one was effective at reducing HIV incidence in PWUS. Interventions in other regions have varying success depending on context-specific characteristics, highlighting the need to conduct more research in the LA region. Though progress has been made in establishing SU as a major concern in people living with HIV (PLWH), much more is yet to be done to reduce the burden of HIV and SU in LA.

“…Up to our knowledge, there is only one systematic review among noninjecting PWUD, which was conducted in China with an overall prevalence of 1.1% [37], which is similar to our findings. A high prevalence of HIV infection has been reported among groups of non-injecting PWUD in different countries, specifically MSM and FSW subgroups [38][39][40][41]. Among the included studies in the current systematic review, no study was conducted among MSM individuals.…”

Issues This systematic review aimed to provide an updated estimate on the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among non‐injecting people who use drugs (PWUD) and the various subgroups and the odds of HIV infection in the injecting compared to non‐injecting PWUD. Approach A comprehensive search of international, regional and national databases was performed from January 2005 to May 2020. We conducted backward citation tracking of the included studies and contacted experts for unpublished studies. Studies providing HIV prevalence among non‐injecting PWUD were included. Data were also drawn from a previous systematic review, covering 10 years from 1998 to 2007, and was added to the new database. The HIV prevalence was pooled for non‐injecting PWUD and other subgroups using the random‐effects model. Key Findings Seventeen studies with a total sample of 9912 non‐injecting PWUD were found. The prevalence of HIV infection was 1.9% (95% confidence interval 0.9, 3.1) for 2007 and afterward (nine studies). It was not significantly different from the estimate for the years before 2007 (0.5%; 95% confidence interval 0.0, 2.0; eight studies). No significant difference was found among gender subgroups. The overall estimate of odds of HIV infection among injecting PWUD was 5.7 (95% confidence interval 3.2, 10.0) times higher than non‐injecting PWUD. Implications and Conclusions The HIV prevalence among the non‐injecting PWUD was higher than the general population in Iran. Targeting non‐injection PWUD by preventive measures such as harm reduction, drug and psychoeducation, and surveillance seem to be crucial in reducing HIV prevalence in this group.
