Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 2P6R0x23. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. This study evaluated associations between sociodemographic factors and access to care, use of highly active antiretroviral therapy, and patients'ratings of care among Hispanic patients who are HIV infected ; we used data from the HIV Cost and Services Utilization Study. Gender, insurance, mode of exposure, and geographic region were associated with access to medical care. Researchers and policymakers should consider sociodemographic factors among Hispanic patients who are HIV positive when designing and prioritizing interventions to improve access to care. |
