Abstract
This paper examined the impact of and barriers to accessing substance abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in eastern North Carolina. The outcomes of treatment for HIV/AIDS with public coverage in North Carolina are addressed in terms of the impact on the African American male population. Substance abuse services for African American men with HIV/AIDS in eastern North Carolina have not been sufficient. There is a desperate need to provide information on this segment of the population. Therefore, this paper provided an initial discussion that will serve as the impetus for further discussion and research.
