Competing subsistence needs are associated with retention in care and detectable viral load among people living with HIV.
Competing priorities between subsistence needs and health care may interfere with HIV health. Longitudinal data from the Los Angeles-based HIV Outreach Initiative were analyzed to examine the association between competing subsistence needs and indicators of poor retention-in-care among hard-to-reach people with HIV. Sacrificing basic needs for health care in the previous six months was associated with a 1.55 times greater incidence of missed appointments (95% CI 1.17, 2.05), 2.32 times greater incidence of emergency department visits (95% CI 1.39, 3.87), 3.66 times greater incidence of not receiving ART if CD4 < 350 (95% CI 1.60, 8.37), and 1.35 times greater incidence of detectable viral load (95% CI 1.07, 1.70) (all p < 0.01). Among hard-to-reach PLHIV, sacrificing basic needs for health care delineates a population with exceptional vulnerability to poor outcomes along the HIV treatment cascade. Efforts to identify and reduce competing needs for this population are crucial to HIV health outcomes.
