Abstract

Abstract: Among 1942 persons with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) without healthcare coverage in 2012–2015, transitioning to Medicaid (adjusted prevalence ratio, 0.95 [0.87, 1.04]) or to private health insurance (1.04 [0.95, 1.13]) was not associated with a change in consistent HIV viral suppression compared to continued reliance on the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program.
