Description
Mariam Ardehali and co-authors link food insecurity to hard access to care among people with HIV in western Kenya, in a study from two thousand twenty-four. Over a thousand adults, some with added long-term diseases, gave baseline data for a care trial. About one in nine reported trouble reaching care.
Trouble rose step by step with food insecurity level. Severe food insecurity more than doubled the odds of trouble reaching care, after other factors were weighed. Travel problems were the top barrier named. The link held across sex and wealth groups. The authors say food needs must be tackled alongside clinic care.
