  • Infectious Diseases
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Early detection and treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are crucial due to advancements in medical management.
  • A significant portion of HIV-positive individuals in the U.S. remain unaware of their status, hindering access to care.
  • Barriers at individual, system, and societal levels impede HIV testing, result retrieval, and post-diagnosis care, particularly for young people and Black Americans.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the increased benefits of early HIV detection.
  • To identify factors negatively impacting HIV testing, result retrieval, and care engagement.
  • To propose solutions for improving the identification of new HIV infections and linkage to care.
