 AB    Use of alcohol and drugs is highly correlated with acquiring the human
       immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the precursor to developing an
       AIDS-related condition. Today the USA faces not one but two epidemics,
       the twin epidemics of substance use and HIV infection. A needs
       assessment in the state of Ohio of the 300 state-supported drug
       treatment facilities confirmed a need for HIV-related education and
       training of the 120 health care personnel, physicians and nurses. Unique
       train-the-trainer programming was planned and undertaken, including in
       the same training programme physician and nurse participants dealing
       both with substance use and HIV/AIDS issues. Significant differences
       were found in perceived levels of knowledge, and/or attitudes, before
       and after programme sessions, regarding substance use, HIV/AIDS, and
       related training issues. To reach all of Ohio's 120 drug treatment
       facility physicians and nurses required a 2.75 person-hour per trainee
       expenditure of professional resources.
