In March 2020, the CDC reported that twice as many Black individuals were hospitalized with COVID-19 than were proportionally represented in the U.S. These disparities may be […]
A new study uncovered large and persistent disparities by sex and age in the uptake of a preferred HIV medication in low- and middle-income countries, potentially subjecting some women to worse HIV treatment outcomes if the situation is not corrected quickly. In the large observational cohort study of 134,672 people with HIV at 87 facilities […]
