The study investigated whether having trouble obtaining health care due to different forms of discrimination impacts Black and White men being tested for HIV. It is important to discover if discrimination as a structural factor inhibits progression through the HIV Care Continuum among Black men. Structural factors may better explain the origin of HIV prevalence disparities and how the social factors affect Black men being tested for HIV.

The Minority Health Status Report (MHSR) provides the most current and accurate data describing disparities that exist in the Commonwealth using multiple data sources including the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), American Community Survey (ACS), U.S. Census and other sentinel surveillance systems. The MHSR serves as a document that can be used to engage communities in understanding the social determinants of health and their relationship to health inequities.
