Summary
- Minority populations in the United States, particularly blacks and Latinos, experience disproportionately high rates of infection and poorer health outcomes[CDC 2014]
- Minority patients’ HIV/AIDS care is often complicated by disparities in HIV/AIDS care, distrust of the healthcare system, stigma, poverty, challenges engaging in care, and barriers to adhering to ART
- Risk of infection among minorities is tied to sexual networks, limited social mobility, and other economic factors
