  • Analysis of risk factors at the intersection of homelessness, AIDS, and tuberculosis.
  • Policy-oriented summary of findings.

Main Results:

  • Identified specific risk factors for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) within homeless populations.
  • Identified specific risk factors for homelessness among individuals diagnosed with AIDS.
  • Highlighted the need for integrated service delivery for intersecting health and social issues.

Conclusions:

  • Merging health and social service databases is crucial for effective resource allocation.
