“…Much of the HIV infection is associated with low socioeconomic status and poverty that prevails among Black populations (Peterman, Lindsey, and Selik, 2005). Although in this study, a high percentage of the Black population correlated with a higher female and pediatric HIV rate, low median income is not correlated with a higher female and pediatric HIV.…”

“…The geographic disparities mentioned above overlap with underlying socioeconomic and racial inequalities driving the US epidemic: for example, poorer communities have higher rates of HIV/AIDS and patients with low socioeconomic status have lower survival rates; [35][36][37][38] patients without adequate insurance are less likely to be on antiretroviral therapy; 39 substance users and minorities are more likely to delay 43 To complement clinician-based changes such as those suggested previously, primary care networks can help improve access to HIV treatment and reduce important health disparities by implementing systemsbased strategies (e.g., community-based HIV service programs) to provide appropriate care. These programs may be especially valuable for patients who cannot easily travel to specialty centers as well as vulnerable and medically underserved groups.…”

“…23-24 One analysis of geographic areas in the U.S. found that counties with the largest proportional increased number of AIDS cases had lower levels of income and education, and higher rates of infant mortality, low weight births, and age-adjusted mortality. 25 Another study found that geographic clustering of STIs in deprived neighborhoods persisted, even after accounting for individual level characteristics like risk behaviors and socioeconomic status. 26…”
