The state of adherence to HIV care in Black women

The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the state of adherence to HIV care such as HIV medication and appointment adherence among Black women in the United States. After a systematic search of CINAHL, PUBMED, EMBASE, and clinicialtrials.gov, 26 studies and 2 ongoing trials met inclusion criteria. Psychosocial factors such as intersectional stigmas and depression were among the salient factors associated with adherence to care behaviors in women living with HIV (WLWH). In addition, interpersonal factors such as social support and the patient-provider relationship were frequently associated with adherence to care behaviors.
