“Hispanic immigrants bear a disproportionate burden of HIV infection in the US. Along with disproportionate rates of HIV infection, Hispanic immigrants are affected by three important drivers of the US HIV epidemic: disordered alcohol and drug use, intimate partner violence, and reduced rates of HIV testing. Importantly, each of these drivers of HIV infection is or has been legally regulated,†the grant description stated.
