TL;DR
The proportion of persons under HIV care in the United States who had ever received HAART increased to over 70% of the affected population by January 1998 and the disparities in use between groups narrowed but did not disappear.
Abstract
The proportion of persons under HIV care in the United States who had ever received HAART increased to over 70% of the affected population by January 1998 and the disparities in use between groups narrowed but did not disappear. However, nearly half of those eligible for HAART according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services guidelines were not actually receiving it nearly 2 years after these medications were first introduced. Strategies to promote the initiation and continuation of HAART are needed for those without contraindications and those who can tolerate it.

The recent declines in morbidity and mortality due to AIDS are attributable to the use of more intensive antiretroviral therapies.

It is found that most HIV-infected adults who were receiving medical care had advanced disease, and the patient population was disproportionately male, black, and poor.
JAMABarriers to Use of Free Antiretroviral Therapy in Injection Drug Users
523 Citations1998Steffanie A. Strathdee
Despite free antiretroviral therapy, many HIV-infected injection drug users are not receiving it and public health efforts should target younger and female drug users, and physicians with less experience treating HIV infection.

366 Citations1994Richard D. Moore, David Stanton +2 more
Among patients infected with HIV, blacks were significantly less likely than whites to have received antiretroviral therapy or PCP prophylaxis when they were first referred to an HIV clinic, suggesting a need for culturally specific interventions to ensure uniform access to care, including drug therapy, and uniform standards of care.
JAMAAntiretroviral Therapy for HIV Infection in 1996
309 Citations1996Charles C. J. Carpenter
Recent data on HIV pathogenesis, methods to determine plasma HIV RNA, clinical trial data, and availability of new drugs point to the need for new approaches to treatment, and therapeutic approaches need to be updated as new data continue to emerge.
JAMASelf-reported Antiretroviral Therapy in Injection Drug Users
272 Citations1998David D. Celentano
Those IDUs infected with HIV who were not receiving ART tended to be active drug users without clinical disease who have less contact with health care providers, which suggests that strategies for improving treatment in this population are indicated.

Case management programs appear to lower unmet need for supportive services among HIV-infected persons, and an increased number of contacts with a case manager was significantly associated with lower un met need for home health care, emotional counseling, and any unmetneed.
JAMARacial and Ethnic Differences in Outcome in Zidovudine-Treated Patients With Advanced HIV Disease
93 Citations1991Philippa Easterbrook
Racial differences in survival and the development of opportunistic infections are mainly due to the more advanced HIV disease in black patients when zidovudine therapy is started and to their less frequent use of PCP prophylaxis.

Adherence by health care providers to guidelines for preventing OIs in these federally funded facilities is generally high but could be improved for some prevention measures, for instance, MAC prophylaxis, TST, and pneumococcal vaccination, especially for IDUs.
