The North-South Divide: Substance Use Risk, Care Engagement, and Viral Suppression Among Hospitalized Human Immunodeficiency Virus–Infected Patients in 11 US Cities
Regional variability in HIV care engagement remains underexplored. Multiple logistic models compared HIV-outcomes for participants from five Southern (n=557) and six Non-Southern sites (n=670). Southern participants had less viral suppression (aOR=0.59; 95%CI=0.43-0.82) and higher likelihood of CD4+<200 cells/µl; (aOR=1.49; 95%CI=1.14-1.94). HIV interventions and social safety net programs should be expanded.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 October 2025.
All research outputs
#4,021,357
of 31,777,007 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Infectious Diseases
#6,890
of 19,858 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#59,035
of 344,695 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Infectious Diseases
#79
of 170 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 31,777,007 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 19,858 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 30.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 344,695 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 170 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its contemporaries.
