Abstract
HIV-infected individuals with co-occurring SMI and IDU are significantly more likely to utilize HIV-related medical inpatient services than individuals with no comorbidity or with only one comorbidity. Individuals with both SMI and IDU did not differ from those with IDU only in receipt of HAART. Inpatient hospitalizations are expensive, and efforts should be targeted towards these populations to reduce potentially avoidable inpatient care.
