On May 16, 2018,, NH DHHS issued a health alert regarding HIV and HCV in persons who inject drugs.

Key Points and Recommendations:

• New Hampshire is at high risk of uncontrolled HIV and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission due to the opioid epidemic and injection drug use.
• Providers should screen all patients who present to clinical care (regardless of the primary purpose of the visit) for substance use disorder, especially injection drug use.
