Food Insecurity Undermines HIV Care and Treatment Adherence in U.S. Regions

Food Insecurity Undermines HIV Care and Treatment Adherence in U.S. Regions

Food insecurity is a significant barrier to effective HIV care, treatment adherence, and viral suppression for individuals living with HIV in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Medical Monitoring Project, approximately 22% of adults diagnosed with HIV report experiencing hunger or food insecurity. This challenge directly impacts their ability to consistently take HIV medication and remain engaged in care. Many U.S. regions with high HIV burdens, such as Florida, Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., also face high levels of hunger. This correlation suggests that the underlying conditions driving food insecurity—poverty, inconsistent healthcare access, and structural inequities—are the same factors that undermine HIV outcomes. The AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) launched its 'Food for Health' program in 2021 to address this issue, offering fresh food marketplaces, pantry services, and food education.

Feed More's 'Food as Medicine' Program Reduces Hospitalizations and Emergency Visits in Central Virginia

Feed More, in partnership with hospitals, health districts, Federally Qualified Health Centers, and free clinics across 16 Central Virginia localities, has implemented a 'Food as Medicine' program since 2018. This initiative, supported by the Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation, screens patients for food insecurity during healthcare visits. Individuals who screen positive receive a box of shelf-stable food on-site and are referred to the Feed More Help Line for additional resources, including assistance with SNAP, Medicaid, and WIC applications. The program aims to improve food access, enabling patients to adhere to treatment plans and manage long-term health conditions, while also reducing financial trade-offs between food, medication, and other essential expenses. The 2026 Food as Medicine 3.0 Cumulative Report, which screened over 1.45 million patients across 13 states, found a 14% decrease in hospitalizations, an 11% decrease in emergency department visits, and a 47% increase in food security ...

McGovern Medical School Student Zoe Strain Highlights Healthcare Access Disparities Through Patient Experience

McGovern Medical School Student Zoe Strain Highlights Healthcare Access Disparities Through Patient Experience

Zoe Strain, a first-year student at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston, encountered a patient during a clinical shadowing experience in El Paso, Texas, whose delayed medical care underscored significant healthcare access issues. The patient had a large facial growth, feared it was cancer, but postponed seeking treatment for six months due to lack of health insurance. By the time he arrived at an emergency department, his condition had progressed to a point where medical intervention was limited. Strain observed the attending physician confirm the patient's fears and then inform him that little could be done due to the advanced stage of his illness, directly linking the delay to financial barriers to healthcare. This experience reinforced Strain's commitment to patient empowerment and addressing systemic challenges in healthcare access.
