“…When considering new health innovations, such as PrEP, it holds that people with greater resources are more favourably positioned to know about, or have the means to access, new health technologies (Link and Phelan 1995;Rubin et al 2010;Holloway et al 2017;Allgood et al 2016). The fact that educational attainment was positively associated with awareness and willingness to pay for PrEP out-of-pocket, but not with interest in PrEP, is consistent with fundamental causes theory: respondents with higher SES are more likely to know about, and have the means to access PrEP, despite being equally as interested in this health innovation as those with lower SES.…”

This study identifies important disparities in awareness, interest, and willingness to pay for PrEP. Future interventions and educational efforts should target non-gay-identified and older GBMSM, as well as GBMSM outside urban areas. PrEP implementation may risk further perpetuating existing health inequities based on socio-economic status if PrEP continues to be accessed primarily through private insurance or paid for out-of-pocket.

“…Increasing attention to these factors has recently contributed to the interest in providing higher-risk groups with more context to help them better understand underlying reasons for the disparities. Additionally, disparities in HIV-related outcomes between some groups, such as blacks and whites, have continued to increase (Allgood et al, 2016). Recent research has also begun to highlight a growing concern that messages about HIV-disparities may have unintended effects (e.g., Lee et al, 2017;Thomann et al, 2018).…”

Effectively Communicating About HIV and Other Health Disparities: Findings From a Literature Review and Future Directions

Despite significant progress in the prevention and treatment of HIV, disparities in rates of infection remain among key groups in the United States, including blacks and African Americans; Hispanics/Latinos; and men who have sex with men (MSM). The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' initiative, Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America, calls for addressing HIV-related disparities and reducing stigma and discrimination associated with HIV. The goal of this literature review was to identify approaches for effectively communicating about health disparities across the HIV care continuum. We reviewed the literature to investigate strategies used to communicate health disparities and to identify potential unintended adverse effects resulting from this messaging. Messages about health disparities often target subgroups at higher risk and can be framed in a variety of ways (e.g., social comparison, progress, impact, etiological). Studies have examined the effects of message framing on the risk perceptions, emotional reactions, and behaviors of individuals exposed to the messaging. The evidence points to several potential unintended adverse effects of using social comparison framing and individual responsibility framing to communicate about health disparities, and visual images and exemplars to target messages to higher-risk subgroups. There is not yet a clear evidence-based approach for communicating about health disparities and avoiding potential unintended effects. However, we offer recommendations for communicating about HIV-related disparities based on our findings. Because we found limited literature that addressed our research questions in the context of HIV, we propose a research agenda to build an evidence base for developing effective messages about HIV-related disparities.

“…High rates of delayed diagnosis for both Caribbean and U.S.-born Blacks may be due to structural racism and discrimination, fear of knowing HIV test result, and pervasive health disparities that impede access to primary care for racial minorities in the U.S. 20 There was a temporal improvement for U.S.-born Blacks, but no differences for Caribbean-born Blacks, suggesting that overall HIV screening appears to have improved for U.S.-born Blacks, but not for any other groups.…”

Prompt HIV diagnosis decreases the risk of HIV transmission and improves health outcomes. The study objective was to examine rates of delayed HIV diagnosis among non-Latino Black Caribbean immigrants in Florida. The sample included 39,008 Black HIV-positive individuals, aged 13 or older from the Caribbean and the mainland U.S. Delayed HIV diagnosis was defined as AIDS diagnosis within three months of HIV diagnosis. After adjusting for demographic factors, year of HIV diagnosis, transmission mode, neighborhood level socioeconomic status, and rural-urban residence, a disparity persisted for Caribbean-born Blacks in the Bahamas and Haiti compared with U.S.-born Blacks. Male Jamaican-Bahamian-Haitian-born Blacks were more likely to have delayed diagnosis (aOR 2.17, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.53-3.03; aOR 1.88, 95% CI 1.01-3.44; aOR 1.58, 95%CI 1.58). Findings suggest the need for targeted, culturally relevant interventions to reduce delayed diagnosis incidence among specific Caribbean-born Blacks.
