Abstract
Latino/as who inject drugs have the lowest level of retention in HIV care and the lowest HIV viral suppression rates in the United States. We set up an intervention to provide comprehensive, integrated HIV primary care services to Spanish-speaking and bilingual HIV-positive people who inject drugs of Puerto Rican ancestry in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 2016, the rate of HIV viral suppression in our intervention (83%) far exceeded the rate for all individuals diagnosed with HIV in Philadelphia (51%).
