Hospitalization rates among persons with HIV who gained Medicaid or private insurance after the Affordable Care Act in 2014.
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether gaining inpatient healthcare coverage had an effect on hospitalization rates among persons with HIV following implementation of the Affordable Care Act in 2014. Hospitalization data from 2015 were obtained on adults receiving longitudinal care at HIV clinics; all patients were previously uninsured and supported by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) in 2013. Findings showed that acquiring inpatient coverage was not associated with a change in hospitalization rates.

National survey of United States human immunodeficiency virus medical providers' knowledge and attitudes about the Affordable Care Act.
The objective of the study was to explore HIV medical providers' knowledge and attitudes about the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The investigators concluded that: medical providers in Medicaid expansion states were more optimistic about the ACA's likelihood to improve their patients' HIV outcomes; there are gaps in HIV medical providers' understanding of the ACA; and education could enhance systems-based practice.

PPACA and low-income people living with HIV: 2014 qualified health plan enrollment in a Medicaid nonexpansion state.
This review examined qualified heallth plan enrollment of AIDS Drug Assistance Programs clients in Virginia, a Medicaid nonexpansion state, and explored some issues that affect people living with HIV in other Medicaid nonexpansion states. The authors recommend that as healthcare delivery models shift, the effects on patients and health outcomes achieved should be monitored, particularly for chronic diseases such as HIV.

In four ACA expansion states, the percentage of uninsured hospitalizations for people with HIV declined, 2012-14.
This study examines the influence of the Affordable Care Act's optional state Medicaid expansion on insurance coverage and health outcomes for hospitalized patients with HIV. It found that the percentage of hospitalizations of uninsured people with HIV in the four expansion states fell from 13.7 percent to 5.5 percent in the study period, while the percentage in the two nonexpanding states increased from 14.5 percent to 15.7 percent.
