Barriers and facilitators of cardiovascular disease prevention among people with HIV in the Southern United States: a photo-elicitation study.
December 31, 2026 · HIV research & clinical practice
Key takeaway
This study found that for Black adults living with HIV in the South, healthy eating is too expensive, neighborhoods aren't safe for exercise, and family habits can make healthy choices harder. This matters because it shows we need better support in our communities and clinics to prevent heart problems.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in cardiovascular helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
