As many as half of individuals with substance abuse problems are estimated to have comorbid mental illness, and these dual-diagnosis patients have a relatively high risk of becoming infected with HIV. Studies have found that between 10% and 40% of patients at HIV clinics have a “triple diagnosis” of HIV, substance abuse disorder, and psychiatric illness, said Antoine Douaihy, MD, an associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
