Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Food Insecurities
Sponsor: Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Summary
The objectives of this study are to better understand how FI (food insecurities) contributes to the development of cardiometabolic comorbidities among PWH (People with HIV) and to test a novel bilingual FI intervention designed to reduce these comorbidities among food insecure PWH. The PI and staff will conduct this study in partnership with the Wake Forest Infectious Diseases Specialty Clinic, one of the largest Ryan White-funded clinics in North Carolina, which serves more than 2,000 PWH annually from a predominantly rural catchment area that includes South Central Appalachia. This area has high rates of both FI and HIV.
