Ending the HIV Epidemic in Puerto Rico: Truths, Challenges, and Hopes

Disclaimer: Per a court order, HHS is required to restore this website as of 11:59 PM February 14, 2025. Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate and disconnected from the immutable biological reality that there are two sexes, male and female. The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology and condemns the harms it causes to children, by promoting their chemical and surgical mutilation, and to women, by depriving them of their dignity, safety, well-being, and opportunities. This page does not reflect biological reality and therefore the Administration and this Department rejects it.

Description

This presentation assesses social determinants that affect the HIV continuum of care.

  2. Analyze the effect of social determinants in the perception of apparent control of the HIV acquisition and further strategies in treatment and adherence.
  3. Enforce the importance of education and prevention efforts in the long-term goal of ending the HIV epidemic.
