摘要
佛罗里达州Miami-Dade县的Ryan White项目(RWP)进行了几项修改,以在新冠肺炎大流行期间保持艾滋病毒护理的可及性,包括扩大远程医疗服务,增加获得艾滋病毒药物的机会,以及免除服务重新认证所需的实验室检测。我们使用2020年10月至2021年1月期间的电话调查,评估了在新冠肺炎大流行期间,佛罗里达州Miami-Dade县RWP Part A服务的298名非裔黑人、西班牙裔和海地艾滋病毒感染者(PWH)获得医疗服务提供者、医疗病例管理人员和抗逆转录病毒药物的容易程度。总体而言,与疫情前相比,大多数客户报告的访问权限相似或更好。使用视频通话与艾滋病毒医疗服务提供者沟通因种族/民族而异:西班牙裔(49.6%)、非西班牙黑人(37.7%)和海地客户(16.0%)。结果表明,这些修改有助于在前所未有的健康危机中保持获得护理的机会。应考虑永久采用其中许多修改,以继续为获得护理提供便利。
HIV Care Access During the COVID-19 Pandemic as Perceived by Racial/Ethnic Minority Groups Served by the Ryan White Program, Miami-Dade County, Florida.
The Ryan White Program (RWP) in Miami-Dade County, Florida made several modifications to keep HIV care accessible during the COVID-19 Pandemic, including expanding telehealth services, increasing access to HIV medications, and waiving required lab tests for service recertification. We assessed ease of access to medical providers, medical case managers, and antiretroviral medications during the COVID-19 Pandemic among 298 Non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, and Haitian people with HIV (PWH) served by the RWP Part A, Miami-Dade County, Florida using a telephone-administered survey between October 2020 and January 2021. Overall, most clients reported similar or better access compared to before the Pandemic. Use of videocalls to communicate with HIV medical providers varied by race/ethnicity: Hispanics (49.6%), Non-Hispanic Blacks (37.7%), and Haitian clients (16.0%). Results suggest the modifications helped maintain access to care during an unprecedented health crisis. Permanently adopting many of these modifications should be considered to continue to facilitate access to care.
