===People living with HIV/AIDS=== The results of a research project undertaken at the Dr. Peter Centre (DPC), a 24-bed residential HIV/AIDS care facility located in Vancouver, were published in the Journal of the International AIDS Society in March 2014, stating that the provision of supervised injection services at the facility improved health outcomes for DPC residents. The DPC considers the incorporation of such services as central to a "comprehensive harm reduction strategy" and the research team concluded, through interviews with 13 residents, that "the harm reduction policy altered the structural-environmental context of healthcare services and thus mediated access to palliative and supportive care services", in addition to creating a setting in which drug use could be discussed honestly. [[Management of HIV/AIDS|Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)]] medication adherence and survival are cited as two improved health outcomes.<ref>{{cite journal|last=McNeil|first=R|title=Impact of supervised drug consumption services on access to and engagement with care at a palliative and supportive care facility for people living with HIV/AIDS: a qualitative study|journal=Journal of the International AIDS Society|date=13 March 2014|volume=17|issue=1|pages=18855|doi=10.7448/IAS.17.1.18855|pmid=24629844|display-authors=etal|pmc=3955762}}</ref>
