In this commentary, we propose evidence-based recommendations for integrating HIV and mental health care that may overcome these barriers. These strategies include mental health screenings and referrals during routine HIV clinic visits, community-based mobile clinics and telemedicine to expand access to mental health services, concurrent mental health and HIV education within schools, and models for future health care innovation.

Compared with Whites, Blacks and mixed-race individuals were younger. Age-adjusted prevalence was 175% higher in Black individuals (PR=2.75, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.12, 3.56) and 85% higher in mixed-race individuals (PR=1.85, 95% CI: 1.44, 2.36) compared with Whites. The strength of these associations was reduced in models including the comorbidities of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes, which are more prevalent in Black and mixed-race individuals.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Our results reveal a higher prevalence of self-reported glaucoma in non-White groups, especially among Black and mixed-race individuals.
