What we know
People who inject drugs (PWID) encounter stigma and discrimination within health care settings and across the community. This may have a negative impact on their:
- willingness to access medical assistance for future or ongoing treatment of health conditions
- ability to receive quality therapeutic care and treatment from a broad range of health practitioners
- motivation to disclose their status of drug use, a history of injecting, or associated medical conditions.
