Barriers to HIV/AIDS Care in Rural Communities

​

 

Many environmental, economic, and privacy factors converge to cause barriers and challenges that complicate HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention in rural areas. Some overarching factors include poverty in many rural areas, limited resources, and structural barriers that pose challenges to accessing services.

 

Unique Barriers of Rural Communities 

  • Stigma

  • Privacy and lack of anonymity 

  • Lack of awareness 

  • Lack of services

  • Lack of specialized service providers
