Actual and perceived In 2006, an estimated 26% of new HIV infections were in females (up from 18% in 1994). Forty five percent of cases lack of power in sexual network patterns and family relationships also are thought to be factors were in African-Americans, 35% in Whites, and 17% in Hispanics. Among women, 60% of new infections were contributing to women prioritizing the health concerns of others over their own, resulting in reported in African-American women despite the fact they make 12% of the US female population 22% in White delayed testing, diagnosis, and care. 5,6 women and 16% in Hispanic women. 2,3 The rate of HIV infection among African-American women was almost fifteen times higher than the rate for White females, and almost three times the rate for Hispanic females. In 2007, 27% of AIDS clients were women (up from 7% in 1985). Sixty-six percent of these cases were among AfricanAmerican women, 18% among White women, and 14% in Hispanic women. This trend among African-American women is most severe in the Southeastern United States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas). Florida, Georgia, and Louisiana led the Psycho-social Considerations Substance abuse, mental illness, and physical and sexual abuse, disproportionately affect women of color and also lead to high risk behaviors and an increased chance of exposure to, and infection with, HIV.5 nation in HIV/AIDS diagnosis rates among female adults and adolescents in STIs Chlamydia was the most reported infectious disease in the US in 2007, with more than half of all cases occurring in females age The rate of Chlamydia in Black females being almost eight times as high as in White females, and three times as high in Hispanic women.7 Due to the fact that Chlamydia can be asymptomatic in females, the diagnosis is often missed. Statistics are similar for gonorrhea, the second most reported infectious disease in the US in Southeastern states having the highest rate of gonorrhea in the nation. Like Chlamydia, gonorrhea increases the likelihood of HIV transmission.7 Cervical and anal human papilloma virus (HPV) infections are higher in women with HIV, as are abnormalities on Pap smears ranging from ASCUS (Atypical Squamous Cell of Undetermined Significance) to HSIL (Highgrade Squamous Intra-epithelial Lesion). Invasive cervical cancer or CIS (Carcinoma In Situ) is also more common in HIV positive women, particularly AfricanAmerican and Hispanic women age ,9,10 2 3
3 Missed Opportunities for Medical Documentation Medical records that fail to document health issues unique to women with HIV, particularly sexual and reproductive health, miss an opportunity to remind providers of additional steps to take to ensure optimal health for female clients. HealthHIV s clinical assessments at 20 clinics participating a project supporting networks of HIV care in areas with high HIV prevelance and large minority populations, show routine gynecological examinations and diagnostic tests for STIs were rarely documented despite the fact it is widely known that concurrency of STIs with HIV increase HIV transmission. 11 Sub-optimal Medical Care Clinicians may not always be aware of adverse effects of certain ARVs during pregnancy, or drug-to-drug interactions between hormonal contraceptives and some ARVs that require dosage adjustments. 12 Antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence can be affected by the therapy s perceived or actual adverse effects 14, poor patient/provider relationship, inability to navigate the complexities of the health system, and fragmentation of care. Domestic Violence and Gender Inequality Manifestations of power disparities, including domestic violence, specific to women of color with HIV must be addressed. African-American women with abusive primary partners are less likely to use condoms and may experience abuse when requesting they be used. Evidence supports the conclusion that violence is also associated with HIV disclosure, with a number of HIV positive women reporting assaults within six months of disclosure. Adherence to antiretroviral medications may also be affected by threats of domestic violence 13 as well as by competing family priorities such as childbearing and childrearing. Recent studies indicate women are frequently underrepresented in clinical trials of new classes of Antiretrovirals (ARVs) because of their ability to participate. 15,16 Barriers to Effective Care Among Women Difficulties in achieving optimal care originate from a variety of sources including the prevailing socio-economic structure and from within the medical system. HealthHIV developed and field-tested A Workshop to Develop Evidence Based Best Practices for Primary Medical Care of Minority Women with HIV in the Rural South. The workshop was hosted in November 2009 by the Southeast Mississippi Rural Health Initiative, one of HealthHIV s partners in a project to support networks of HIV care in areas with high HIV prevalence and large minority populations. HealthHIV Addresses Women Living With HIV The workshop design was based on an organizational needs assessment at SeMRHI and addressed specific gaps in practice representative of other local health service delivery sites in the region. It focused on what has become a national public health imperative, particularly in the South - putting the unique needs of women of color, and especially those living with HIV, at the forefront of the healthcare agenda. Five core interventions to reduce HIV in minority women were covered in the workplace: Aggressive STI screening Universal HIV testing according to CDC guidelines Effective dual protection (family planning and STI prevention) Optimal treatment of HIV, adherence, and retention in care Known barriers to access to HIV care and treatment HealthHIV brought together faculty for the Women & HIV workshop, primarily African American women physicians and HIV Specialists who are consultants to HealthHIV. These clinicians provide comprehensive primary care and HIV treatment to minority women in high prevalence areas and have personal and professional experience confronting the challenges of providing such care to minority women on a daily basis. Several of the clinicians are care providers at HealthHIV partner organizations. Thanks to HealthHIV our community is now looking closer at the unique challenges faced by women living with HIV.

4 HealthHIV Recommendations For Addressing HIV Disparities Among Women Of Color For more information on HIV disparities among women of color in the Southern United States and HealthHIV s response, info@healthhiv.org Throughout the Southeastern United States HIV incidence levels have grown alarmingly in women of color. Factors that make women of color more vulnerable to HIV infection and sub-optimal care are found at the socio-economic, health system, provider, and client levels. Additional emphasis within clinical and care coordination settings are needed when addressing HIV prevention and treatment among women. Organizations and providers can now identify barriers to care among their female clients, implement strategies to fill gaps, and reduce infection rates to improve health at the community and individual levels. Based on experiences from the HealthHIV Women of Color and HIV workshop, HealthHIV recommends education for primary care clinicians and care coordination staff. The following topics may be included: The Need for an Approach in the Care & Treatment of Women of Color with HIV Integrating HIV into Primary Medical Care with Focus on Women of Color Primary Medical Care for HIV Positive Women Comprehensive, Woman-Centered Treatment & Care. Initial Clinical Assessment of Women of Color with HIV Disease Strategies to Increase Access, Adherence, & Retention in Care for Women with HIV Reproductive Intentions, Contraception: Women of Color with HIV/AIDS STIs & HIV: A Missed Opportunity for HIV Prevention?
