The positive impact of opioid substitution treatment (OST) on opioid-dependent individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is well documented, especially with regard to adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). We used the data from a 5-year longitudinal study of the MANIF 2000 cohort of individuals infected with HIV (as a result of injection drug use) and receiving HAART to investigate the predictors of long-term virological success. Design. Data were collected every 6 months from outpatient hospital services delivering HIV care in France. We selected all patients who were receiving HAART for at least 6 months (baseline visit) and who had indications for OST (ie, still dependent on opioids). We selected a total of 113 patients, accounting for a total of 562 visits for all the analyses.
