Clinical Approaches to Marginalized Populations

In this issue:

 In part 1 of this eHIV Review Special Edition (still available at eHIVreview.org), eHIV Review Program Director Justin Alves, Nurse Educator at Boston Medical Center, reviewed the recent evidence describing some of the barriers to care experienced by marginalized individuals at risk for or living with HIV. In this Part 2 issue, he again calls upon two front-line clinicians in the fight to end the HIV epidemic in the U.S. — Nicky Mehtani, MD, from UCSF Medical Center in San Francisco, and Vanessa Loukas, NP, from Boston University’s Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine —to share their clinical approaches.

Learning objectives:

• Identify the barriers that limit the participation and engagement of underserved populations in HIV prevention and treatment medication selection.
• Describe strategies to improve identification and management of substance use in people living with HIV
