| Abstract: |
Ending the HIV epidemic in the United States will require addressing social determinants contributing to poor care engagement among people living with HIV (PLH), such as food insecurity. Food insecurity is associated with poor care engagement among PLH. Yet, few studies have examined the perspectives of healthcare and social services providers on addressing food insecurity in HIV care. Guided by the Social Ecological Model, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 18 providers in New York State to understand barriers and facilitators to addressing food insecurity in HIV care. Thematic analysis illustrated eight themes across various levels of the Social Ecological Model. At the patient-level, providers perceived patients' feelings of embarrassment, shame, and judgement, and low health literacy as barriers. At the provider-level, challenges included limited time. Facilitators included fostering strong, patient-provider relationships. Barriers at the clinic-level included limited funding, while clinic resources served as facilitators. At the community-level, challenges included intersecting stigmas arising from community norms towards PLH and people who receive food assistance and limited access to healthy food. Findings suggest the need to incorporate their insights into the development of interventions that address food insecurity in HIV care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
