Family rejection

Limitations in educational opportunities

Injectable PrEP and other intervention trials

Radical new approaches that address upstream factors to increase HIV prevention use and HIV care outcomes

“I discovered that my environment had a lot to do with my mental state. So, when I had my own place, I was in control of the environment. You know, there was no drama, everything was nice and mellow, and so I was able to function... It was when other people and situations were introduced into my environment that I couldn’t get away from, that would send me over the edge.”

(Knight et al., Int J Drug Policy 2014)

The Social Context of Housing

“WLWH continue to experience poor outcomes across the HIV care cascade and overall health, an appreciable proportion of which may not be disease-related but due to socio-structural barriers that impact health.”

(Shokoohi et al., PLoS One, 2019)
