Despite the widespread availability of effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the United States, there remains significant numbers of people living with HIV (PLWH) who fail to achieve and or maintain viral suppression (VS). Disparities persist with the lowest levels of VS among Black individuals, people who use drugs, youth ages 18-24 and people residing in rural areas. Investigators will examine the syndemics underlying these outcomes including substance use, mental health, and barriers to HIV care including racial discrimination, stigma and rural isolation.
