Popis: Background: The increasing prevalence of young people living with HIV (YPLWH) is a major public health concern. In 2017, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that young people accounted for 21% (8164) of the 38,739 new HIV diagnoses in the United States. Therefore, understanding opioid use disorder (OUD) among YPLWH is critical in developing effective treatment and prevention strategies. The study intends to provide evidence regarding the prevalence of opioid use disorder as well as to examine the effects of moderators on the diagnosis of OUD among a subset of YPLWH. Methods: The National Inpatient Sample data (2008–2017) were analyzed. Participants ranged in age from 13 to 24 years old and had an HIV-related ICD code was included. The outcomes were OUD diagnosis, patterns, and moderators. The adjusted effects of the moderators on the likelihood of being diagnosed with opioid use were examined using multivariable logistic regression. Results: Results from the study showed that 501 (2%) of the 27,538 HIV-positive young people aged 13 to 24 had comorbid Opioid use disorder (OUD).
