- Medicine
Undocumented LatinX immigrants are a special population facing many difficulties that hinder their engagement in HIV care and prevention. One obvious barrier is language: many undocumented immigrants do not understand either spoken or written English. Many may have never received routine medical care before and can be baffled by the complexities of the medical system. Insurance status and financial concerns are additional barriers. Finally, HIV-related stigma and fear of disclosure of their HIV and/or immigration status can prevent undocumented Latinx immigrants from engaging in HIV care and prevention.
How can clinicians most effectively help these individuals receive proper care? Join us as we find out, with Dr. Kathleen Page and nurse Owen Smith from Johns Hopkins University, in this eHIV Review podcast.
