“…Hispanics/Latinos in HIV care still have higher levels of unmet need for services when compared with other populations ( 10 ). Although no disparities between men and women in sustained viral suppression among Hispanics/Latinos were identified, levels are still lower than those found among non-Hispanic whites ( 3 ) and lower than the national prevention goal of at least 80% viral suppression for persons with diagnosed HIV infection.…”

“…For example Latinxs living with HIV receiving care through Ryan White experience numerous unmet needs including dental and vision care, treatment for substance use disorders and transportation and housing assistance (Korhonen et al, 2016). Individuals navigating a complex health and social care system with multiple concerns also need the support of case managers who can facilitate access and adherence to PrEP.…”

Sexual and gender minority Hispanics/Latinxs (henceforth: Latinxs) continue to be disproportionately impacted by HIV/AIDS in the U.S. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a biomedical prevention approach which holds significant promise for at risk and vulnerable populations. We discuss barriers and facilitators to uptake of PrEP among sexual and gender minority Latinxs living in the U.S. through an ecosocial lens that takes into account structural, community, and individual contexts. The impact of immigration status on PrEP uptake emerges as a major and recurrent theme that must be understood and addressed by HIV prevention programs aiming to promote an inclusive strategy for sexual and gender minority Latinxs living in the U.S.

Background: Unmet needs among hospitalized patients with HIV may prevent engagement in HIV care leading to worse clinical outcomes. Our aim was to examine the role of unmet subsistence needs (e.g. housing, transportation, food) and medical needs (e.g. mental health, substance abuse treatment) as barriers for retention in HIV care and viral load suppression. Methods: We utilized data from the Mentor Approach for Promoting Patients’ Self-Care intervention study, the enrolled hospitalized HIV-patients at a large publicly funded hospital between 2010 and 2013, who were out-of-care. We examined the effect of unmet needs on retention in HIV care (attended HIV appointments within 0–30 days and 30–180 days) and viral load suppression, six months after discharge. Results: 417 participants were enrolled, 78% reported having ≥1 unmet need at baseline, most commonly dental care (55%), financial (43%), or housing needs (34%). Participants with unmet needs at baseline, compared to those with no needs, were more likely to be African American, have an existing HIV diagnosis and insured. An unmet need for transportation was associated with lower odds of retention in care (OR: 0.5; 95% CI:0.34–0.94, p=0.03), even after adjusting for other factors. Compared to participants with no need, those who reported ≥3 unmet subsistence needs were less likely to demonstrate viral load improvement (OR: 0.51; 95% CI:0.28–0.92; p=0.03) and to be retained in care (OR: 0.52; 95% CI:0.28–0.95; p=0.03). Conclusion: Broader access to programs that can assist in meeting subsistence needs among hospitalized patients could have significant individual and public health benefits.
