    Longitudinal analysis of HIV-risk behaviors of participants in a randomized trial of prison-initiated buprenorphine
    (Springer Nature, 2019-12-02) Blue, Thomas R.; Gordon, Michael S.; Schwartz, Robert P.; Couvillion, Kathryn; Vocci, Frank J.; Fitzgerald, Terrence T.; O’Grady, Kevin E.

Prison-initiated buprenorphine may help to reduce HIV infection given the association between opioid use and HIV-risk behaviors.
