Results from research performed at the Colombia School of Public Health
on the health care experiences of 700 HIV infected New Yorkers reveal the
disproportionate distribution of antiretroviral drugs, specifically protease
inhibitors, among whites, Hispanics, and African Americans. Of those infected,
54 percent of African Americans are not receiving any treatment, as compared
to 38 percent of Hispanics and 35 percent of whites. Furthermore, this
three year study also found that men who contracted HIV through homosexual
experiences were twice as likely as those contracting HIV through intravenous
drug use to receive protease inhibitors.
