Racial/ethnic disparities in antiretroviral treatment among HIV-infected pregnant Medicaid enrollees, 2005-2007.
The purpose of this study was to describe racial/ethnic disparities in ARV treatment of low-income Medicaid-eligible HIV-infected women, with a focus on minority populations in southern states. It found that Hispanic or Latino women are a specific subgroup at risk for inadequate ARV therapy in pregnancy. The researchers point out a specific policy issue with regard to the systematic exclusion of many immigrants from Medicaid-covered care during the prenatal period.
