    Abstract A 42-year-old woman with a history of acute myeloid leukaemia status postallogeneic stem cell transplant presented with fevers, altered mental status, pulmonary infiltrates and septic shock that further progressed to thrombocytopenia and purpura fulminans. Laboratory studies were consistent with a diagnosis of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Blood cultures grew

    Abstract For persons living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA), care by an HIV-specialist improves outcomes and satisfaction with one's HIV primary care provider (PCP) promotes engagement with care. In the United States, we are facing a workforce shortage of HIV providers. As we aim to train a new generation of HIV providers, it is unclear how PLWHA perceive their experience when cared for by trainees compared to experienced providers. Therefore we assessed patient satisfaction with HIV providers, both trainees in an HIV Primary Care residency program and HIV-specialists. A secondary objective was to evaluate providers' performance in adhering to standard management guidelines for HIV-associated and non-HIV-associated conditions. We surveyed 75 PLWHA, including 51 (68%) assigned to an HIV-specialist PCP and 24 (32%) to a trainee PCP. Overall patient satisfaction on a 10-point scale was similar (mean 9.6 HIV-specialist vs 9.7 trainee, p = 0.71) and remained similar in multivariate logistic regression analysis when controlling for patient age, gender, race, and recently establishing care (Odds Ratio 1.1, 95% Confidence Interval 0.3-5.0). Participants in the trainee group were more likely to feel their provider "always" spent enough time with them (100% vs 81%, p = 0.03). Adherence to HIV guidelines was similar, though trainees were more likely to document counseling on risk reduction (83% vs 47%, p = 0.005) and adherence to antiretroviral therapy (100% vs 66%, p = 0.001). In conclusion, in a structured HIV-training program, residents can provide subspecialty level care in an HIV continuity clinic with levels of performance and patient satisfaction equivalent to those of experienced specialists.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 negatively impacts social determinants of health that contribute to disparities for people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Insecurity of food, housing, and employment increased significantly in April 2020 among patients with lower incomes at a Ryan White HIV/AIDS program clinic in the Southern United States.

    Abstract Despite ambitious goals to eliminate hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the United States by 2030, the majority of those infected are not aware of their diagnosis, and only a small minority have been cured. A lack of knowledge regarding risk factors and treatment may contribute to low cure rates. We aimed to evaluate HCV knowledge and the association of risk factor knowledge with HCV incidence. In fall 2017, a survey regarding HCV knowledge was disseminated through social media, web link, and in person throughout the state of Virginia. The survey was completed by 613 individuals. Residents of high-incidence counties identified fewer risk factors (5.6 vs 6.1 of 9, p = 0.04), a difference that remained significant when controlling for education and age (p = 0.03). Fewer participants in the high-incidence group recognized snorting drugs to be a risk factor (25% vs 36%, p = 0.01). Only 38% of all respondents correctly identified HCV to be curable. Knowledge of HCV risk factors is lower in high incidence regions. These results identify a critical knowledge gap in the general population at a time of ongoing HCV transmission. Public health interventions must target these gaps in high-incidence regions as part of comprehensive disease prevention programs.

    Abstract A retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the value of the antimicrobial stewardship team (AST) combined with infectious diseases consultation (IDC) on management and outcomes of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) in a tertiary-care academic center. Involvement of AST or IDC was associated with reduced mortality of SAB.

    Abstract Background: Most people diagnosed with hepatitis C virus (HCV) have not linked to care, despite the availability of safe and effective treatment. We aimed to understand why people diagnosed with HCV have not pursued care in the non-urban Southern United States.
    Methods: We conducted a survey and semi-structured interview with participants referred to an HCV clinic who did not attend an appointment between 2014 and 2018. Our clinic is located in a non-urban region of Virginia at a university hospital. Qualitative data collection was guided by the Health Belief Model (HBM). Data was analyzed using qualitative content analysis to identify key factors influencing patient perceptions regarding HCV and pursuit of care.
    Results: Over half of previously referred patients (N = 200) could not be reached by phone. Eleven participants enrolled, including 7 men and 4 women. Based on survey responses, unreliable transportation, unstable housing, substance use, and lack of insurance were common. Participants demonstrated good knowledge of HCV disease, complications, and treatment. On qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews, final themes emerged from within and between HBM constructs. Emerging themes influencing patient perceptions included (1) structural barriers, (2) stigma, (3) prior experiences of HCV disease and treatment, (4) discordance between the recognized severity of HCV and expected impacts on one's own health, and (5) patient-provider relationship. Substance use was not identified to be a barrier to care.
    Conclusions: Participants perceived individual and structural barriers to linking to care. A strong HCV knowledge base was not sufficient to motivate pursuit of care. Efforts to improve linkage to care must address barriers at multiple levels, and system-level changes are needed. As the majority of previously referred patients could not be contacted by phone, current approaches to patient engagement are not effective for reaching these populations. Expansion of HCV care to primary care settings with an established patient-provider relationship or co-located treatment within substance use treatment programs may serve to increase access to HCV treatment.

    Abstract Latinx people living with HIV (PLWH) experience disparities in health outcomes and face unique barriers to care related to language, intersectional stigma, and immigration status. We aimed to explore the lived experience of Spanish-speaking Latinx PLWH in the nonurban South to better understand how to improve care for this minority language population. We conducted semistructured interviews with 22 participants (10 men, 10 women, 2 transgender women) who were recruited from a Ryan White HIV/AIDS program (RWHAP) and a community-based organization. Almost all participants were foreign born. Emerging themes included language barriers, cultural differences, inadequate interpreter services, HIV-related and intersectional stigma, isolation, and relationships as a source of support. These barriers may contribute to disparities in outcomes for Latinx PLWH. New interventions are needed to overcome barriers, foster community, and ensure culturally tailored models of care. Potential clinic-level interventions include the development of specialized training for RWHAP interpreters and inclusion of interpreters in care teams.
