Abstract

There were 555 Iowans diagnosed and living with HIV who completed the Consumer Needs Assessment (CNA) survey. The survey collected information about income and employment, housing, perceived impact of racism, physical and mental health, access to insurance, access to medical and support services, HIV stigma, childhood trauma, resilience, intimate partner violence, HIV risk behaviors, and interest in a new injectable HIV medication. For many questions, results were compared to the CNA survey results of previous years to assess changes over time, or to the Iowa Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey, which is representative of Iowa’s general population. Results were also evaluated for disparities among specific populations. Identified disparities are noted throughout this report.
