Το [φάρμακο] είναι μια ασφαλής και αποτελεσματική αγωγή σε ΧΕΝ HIV+ άτομα. Η
χρησιμοποίηση του ... μπορεί να βοηθήσει στην ενίσχυση της ιδανικής συμμόρφωσης στην

νέλεγχο, τη σύνδεση με τις **ΜΕΛ** και τη συνεργασία με τα προγράμματα απεξάρτησης.

As usual, my brain stops when I hit an unfamiliar abbreviation. This is talking about treating intravenous drug users (ΧΕΝ) with HIV.

Regarding "Ειδικές λοιμώξεις" I am not quite sure how infectious diseases are classified. Perhaps "κοινές - ειδικές λοιμώξεις" may be translated as "common - uncommon infectious diseases". Hope this helps!
