Disparities in the quality of HIV care when using US Department of Health and Human Services indicators. Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America. 2014 Apr 1; 58(8):1185-9.
We estimated US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)-approved human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) indicators. Among patients, 71% were retained in care, 82% were prescribed treatment, and 78% had HIV RNA = 200 copies/mL; younger adults, women, blacks, and injection drug users had poorer outcomes. Interventions are needed to reduce retention- and treatment-related disparities.
