Most Americans are not aware that African Americans and Hispanics have more difficulty accessing HIV/AIDS care, with four in ten adults saying that African Americans (43%) and Hispanics (42%) with HIV have more difficulty in getting the care and treatment they need compared with people of other backgrounds. The public is even less aware of the difficulties faced by women with HIV in accessing care and treatment. Just over one in ten (12%) say that women with HIV have more difficulty than men accessing care and treatment, while nine percent think that women have less difficulty, and 73% think that men and women’s ability to access care and treatment for HIV is about the same.
