Abstract:
HIV-related stigma is recognized as a top barrier to achieve viral suppression in the United States, but data describing who is most affected by HIV stigma is limited. The study sought to (1) identify the relationships between HIV-related stigma and unsuppressed viral load and (2) examine whether the association between HIV stigma subtypes and unsuppressed viral load differ by age group (i.e., 18-34, 35-49, and 50+ years-old) using surveillance data from the Florida Medical Monitoring Project (n = 1195). Most participants were 50+ years-old (55%), male (71%), and Black (51%). Enacted stigma was significantly associated with unsuppressed viral loads among the 18-34-year-old age group (OR 1.68, CI 1.09-2.60). After adjusting for potential confounders, only enacted stigma was independently associated with unsuppressed viral load in the 18-34-year-old age group. Results highlight the need for targeted interventions to reduce enacted stigma among younger persons with HIV to achieve viral suppression.
