Does travel time matter?: predictors of transportation vulnerability and access to HIV care among people living with HIV in South Carolina
In South Carolina-a rural southern state with a disproportionate burden of HIV-long travel time (> 30 min) to HIV care is associated with care disruptions, including more missed visits. Transportation interventions, as well as other efforts to expand rural access to HIV care, are urgently needed to ensure that all PLHIV are able to engage in consistent HIV care in order to reach and maintain viral suppression.
