Description
LIMITED INTERACTION COHORT TO IDENTIFY DETERMINANTS OF VIRAL SUPPRESSION IN MSM AND TRANSFEMININE INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITH HIV: A MULTILEVEL APPROACH - ABSTRACT FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV (PLWH), ACHIEVING AND MAINTAINING VIRAL SUPPRESSION HAS CRITICAL BENEFITS FOR THEIR HEALTH AND FOR REDUCING THE RISK OF TRANSMITTING HIV TO OTHERS. VIRAL SUPPRESSION IS THUS A CRITICAL CORNERSTONE OF THE US PROGRAM TO END HIV. HOWEVER, OVER A THIRD OF PEOPLE IN THE US LIVING WITH HIV DO NOT HAVE A SUPPRESSED VIRAL LOAD. SOME GROUPS, INCLUDING YOUNGER PEOPLE AND BLACK PEOPLE, HAVE LOWER LEVELS OF VIRAL SUPPRESSION. ALTHOUGH TRANSFEMININE PEOPLE (TFP) HAVE SHOWN RATES OF VIRAL SUPPRESSION COMPARABLE TO OTHER GROUPS, THERE IS AMPLE EVIDENCE THAT THEY EXPERIENCE A MULTITUDE OF BARRIERS TO SUSTAINING VIRAL SUPPRESSION, INCLUDING MULTIPLE FORMS OF STIGMA AND STRUCTURAL BARRIERS TO ACCESSING CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE CARE. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE WIDE RACIAL DISPARITIES IN HIV CARE AMONG TRANSGENDER COMMUNITIES, WITH BLACK TFP EXPERIENCING SOME OF THE LOWEST LEVELS OF VIRAL SUPPRESSION. A DEEP UNDERSTANDING IF REQUIRED OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SURROUND GAINING, SUSTAINING OR LOSING VIRAL SUPPRESSION. MOST RESEARCH TO DATE HAS FOCUSED ON INDIVIDUAL FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH VIRAL SUPPRESSION STATUS. THIS APPROACH IS LIMITED IN THAT IT RESTRICTS THE CONSIDERATION OF THE CAUSES OF LACK OF VIRAL SUPPRESSION TO INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTICS OR BEHAVIORS, AND MISSES THE BROADER CONTEXTS â STIGMA, DISCRIMINATION, LACK OF HEALTH COVERAGE, DISTANCE TO HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, AND STRUCTURAL RACISM â THAT SHAPE THE RISK OF PLWH FOR LOSING VIRAL SUPPRESSION. FURTHER, UNDERSTANDING THESE MULTILEVEL PREDICATORS OF LOSS OF VIRAL SUPPRESSION IS REQUIRED TO DEVELOP INTERVENTIONS THAT ARE RESPONSIVE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SHAPE RISKS FOR REMAINING OR BECOMING UNSUPPRESSED. THUS, WE PROPOSE TO ENROLL AND FOLLOW A COHORT OF PLWH â BOTH MSM AND TFP â TO OBSERVE THE PATTERNS OF GAINING, SUSTAINING OR LOSING VI
