1226 – The Influence of Racialized Economic Segregation on Unmet HIV Prevention Needs in the Real World

Background Racialized economic segregation significantly affects health outcomes by exacerbating disparities in disease prevalence and access to healthcare among marginalized communities. However, the impact of socioeconomic segregation on access to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) across various socioeconomic groups remains unexplored in the US. Methods The Index of Concentration at the Extremes (ICE) quantifies segregation by…

1146 – Substance Use Is Associated With Higher HIV Viral Load and Reduced Viral Suppression in 6 US Cohorts

Background HIV viral suppression is key to ending the HIV epidemic and maintaining the health of people with HIV (PWH). While prior research links substance use (SU) to lower antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, and higher HIV viral loads (VL) in PWH, newer ART regimes may be more resilient to intermittent adherence. We examined associations between…

1116 – Effect of the Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) Initiative on Racial/Ethnic Disparities in HIV Incidence

Background Reducing HIV-related disparities is one of the four goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy. The Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) initiative, a key component of the Strategy, focuses on scaling up prevention and treatment services in priority jurisdictions. It is unclear what effect the EHE initiative may have on racial and ethnic health disparities…

1155 – Changing Clustering Rates in the Rhode Island HIV-1 Epidemic

Background Tracking changes over time in proportions and characteristics of persons living with HIV who are part of molecular clusters (clustering rates), has potential to provide valuable insights into HIV transmission dynamics and help guide targeted public health interventions for prevention. Methods We monitored clustering rates patterns and changes over time among key populations in…

1160 – Mortality Trends Among Persons With Perinatal HIV in United States and Territories, 1978-2022

Background Recent trends in mortality among people aging with perinatally-acquired HIV (PPHIV, “lifetime survivors”) remain poorly characterized. We used National HIV Surveillance System (NHSS) data to analyze survival trends and all-cause mortality among PPHIV since the first cases were identified in the U.S. and describe characteristics of decedent PPHIV between 2020-2022. Methods PPHIV born between…

1157 – People Living With HIV Diagnosed Late Provide Source of HIV Infection to Others With Recent Diagnosis

Background Late presentation remains an important hurdle in the management and prevention of HIV infection. Our aim was to investigate the potential source of infection among people living with HIV (PLHIV) with different stages of diagnosis, using in addition to the traditional definition for late diagnosis, the time interval between HIV acquisition and diagnosis dates. Methods The…

1172 – Clinical and Programmatic Factors Associated With Low-Level Viremia in West Africa

Background Low-level viremia (LLV) is linked with poor outcomes in persons with HIV. Poor adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART)  is associated with LLV, but other factors may also contribute to LLV. This study aims to identify clinical and programmatic characteristics associated with LLV at the first viral load result post-ART initiation in West Africa.  Methods…

1117 – Studying Medication Adherence for Black People Living With HIV: An Intersectional Lens

Background In a US Midwestern state, the Black community living with HIV is subject to disparities. Investigations into laws and public policies that govern society as structural barriers to ending the epidemic are vastly under-researched. As such, this study examined the racial gap in ART adherence outcomes among Midwestern PWH contextualized within structural drivers of…

1154 – HIV Molecular Clusters Attributed to Sexual Transmission in the United States, 2015-2023

Background Effectively identifying and responding to HIV molecular clusters, which indicate rapid HIV transmission, is an essential part of Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States. We described the composition and growth of such HIV molecular clusters attributed to sexual transmission. Our aim was to identify characteristics of clusters with continued rapid growth to…

1161 – Mortality in the HIV Outpatient Study (HOPS), Trends and Risks: 2007-2022

Background While persons with HIV (PWH) can live into old age on ART, tailoring interventions to optimize health and lifespan requires ongoing study of determinants of survival. Methods We studied HOPS participants with >2 visits between 1/1/2007 and 12/31/2022 who received ART continuously for >6 months and for at least 75% of time under observation. …
