Disparities in HIV Testing and PrEP Awareness for Black Women who Inject Drugs in San Francisco, California.

AIDS and Behavior 2024 April 21
HIV disproportionately affects Black/African Americans (AA), while PrEP is under-utilized by Black/AA, women, and people who inject drugs (PWID). In San Francisco, California's National HIV Behavioral Surveillance among PWID in 2022, Black/AA women were the least likely to be tested for HIV among all groups by sex and race/ethnicity and the least likely to be aware of PrEP among women. Yet, Black/AA women were no less likely to see a healthcare provider in the last year. Data suggest that providers' failure to discuss and address HIV risk with Black/AA female PWID is a major barrier to accessing effective care and prevention. El VIH afecta de manera desproporcionada a Black/afroamericanos (AA), mientras que la PrEP está infrautilizada por los Black/AA, las mujeres y las personas que se inyectan drogas (PWID). En la National HIV Behavioral Surveillance de PWID de San Francisco, California en 2022, las mujeres Black/AA eran las que menos probabilidades tenían de someterse a la prueba del VIH entre todos los grupos por sexo y raza/etnia y las que menos probabilidades tenían de conocer la PrEP entre las mujeres. Sin embargo, las mujeres Black/AA no tenían menos probabilidades de acudir a un profesional sanitario en el último año. Los datos sugieren que el hecho de que los proveedores no hablen ni aborden el riesgo de VIH con las PWID de raza Black/AA es un obstáculo importante para acceder a una atención y prevención eficaces.
