President’s Strategy • Changes instituted by Executive Order to the 2010 National HIV/AIDS Strategy: • Prioritize continuum of HIV care, accelerating efforts and directing existing federal resources to increase HIV testing, services, and treatment, and improve patient access to all three • Expand capacity of community health centers, local health departments to better integrate HIV prevention and treatment across the continuum of care • Problem is that this ignores HIV-negatives • Based on medical model of controlling viremia Advancing the prevention and treatment of chronic illnesses UCLADepartment of Family Medicine

Drug Use and Black MSM • Minority (Black, Latino) MSM surveyed on social media: those who used social networking sites to find sex partners were more likely to use meth; those who preferred social media to F2F were 4 and 6 times more likely to use meth and cocaine (Young et al., J Addict Disease, 2013) Tobin et al., J Urban Health, 2011 Advancing the prevention and treatment of chronic illnesses UCLADepartment of Family Medicine

Summary • Among Black MSM, high incidence combined with HIV stigma, racism, homophobia, underuse of medical care and exaggerated by problems in linking to communities that provide love/belongingness (family, church, gay community) continue to present challenges to intervention and reducing new infections • For HIV-negative Black MSM, the resolution of this situation is not likely to involve more resources toward the seek, test, treat and retain strategy Advancing the prevention and treatment of chronic illnesses UCLADepartment of Family Medicine
