Abstract:
Current strategies (both biomedical and barrier methods) for HIV elimination in the USA do not best serve those who are most affected by HIV. Improving healthc are for individuals most affected by HIV requires restructuring of care delivery to improve their HIV outcomes. The transformation of clinical care delivery is crucial to address the needs of one of the most affected populations along the HIV care continuum: Black sexually minoritised men (BSMM). Status-neutral HIV care delivery systems might address social determinants of health of BSMM who are stigmatised and disenfranchised within the context of American society. Addressing the needs of BSMM will bring us closer to health-care equity, which benefits us all.
