HIV-related medical service use by rural/urban residents
OBJECTIVE: Geographic location may be related to the receipt of quality HIV health care services. Clinical outcomes and health care utilization were evaluated in rural, urban, and peri-urban patients seen at high-volume US urban-based HIV care sites. METHODS: Zip codes for 8773 HIV patients followed in 2005 at seven HIV Research Network sites were categorized as rural (population 100,000). Clinical and demographic characteristics, inpatient and o…
Racial and Gender Disparities in Receipt of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy Persist in a Multistate Sample of HIV Patients in 2001
BACKGROUND: National data from the mid-1990s demonstrated that many eligible patients did not receive highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and that racial and gender disparities existed in HAART receipt. We examined whether demographic disparities in the use of HAART persist in 2001 and if outpatient care is associated with HAART utilization. METHODS: Demographic, clinical, and pharmacy utilization data were collected from 10 US HIV prima…
Hospital and Outpatient Health Services Utilization Among HIV-Infected Adults in Care 2000–2002
BACKGROUND: Rapid changes in HIV epidemiology and antiretroviral therapy may have resulted in recent changes in patterns of healthcare utilization. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine sociodemographic and clinical correlates of inpatient and outpatient HIV-related health service utilization in a multistate sample of patients with HIV. DESIGN: Demographic, clinical, and resource utilization data were collected from medical record…
Associations between HIV-positive individuals' receipt of ancillary services and medical care receipt and retention
This study examines associations between HIV-positive individuals' receipt of ancillary services and their receipt of and retention in primary medical care. Ancillary care services examined include case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment/counseling, advocacy, respite and buddy/companion services, as well as food, housing, emergency financial assistance, and transportation. The selection criterion used was the receipt of care …
Background for the studies on ancillary services and primary care use
Timely and optimal HIV primary care is a key tenet of the Ryan White CARE Act, a safety net programme for vulnerable and marginalized people living with HIV in the USA. Health services researchers, local providers and policy makers suspect that ancillary services are necessary to improve entry into and retention in HIV primary care for vulnerable populations experiencing barriers to HIV services, including access to antiretroviral therapies. This…
The role of ancillary services in client-centred systems of care
The studies in this issue reflect the operation of the Ryan White CARE Act's holistic model of health and support services for people living with HIV in the USA. Ancillary services available through the CARE Act are responsive to predisposing factors, enabling factors, and system characteristics that pose barriers to clients' receipt of primary medical care. That nearly all of the studies use cross-sectional rather than longitudinal data makes it…

Association of Medical Insurance and Other Factors With Receipt of Antiretroviral Therapy
Objectives. This study was designed to assess sociodemographic and medical insurer factors associated with receipt of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Methods. Patients included (n = 959) were enrolled in the Johns Hopkins HIV Clinic after April 1, 1996, received ≥ 90 days of care, and had a CD4 count ≥ 500 cells/mm 3 or HIV-1 RNA > 20 000 copies/mL. We assessed the associations of sociodemographic factors and medical insurance with …
Predicting the effect of the Oregon Health Plan on Medicaid coverage for outpatients with HIV
The Oregon Health Plan, which took effect in February 1994, extends Medicaid eligibility but limits coverage to conditions and treatments above a certain threshold on a prioritized list. Retrospective analysis was conducted on records of visits to two Oregon human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) outpatient clinics in 1991 and 1992 to determine Medicaid coverage if the plan had been operational. Of 1129 patients, 21.1% were Medicaid-eligible; an addi…
