Abstract People living with HIV (PLWH) are at greater risk for severe COVID-19 and are a priority population for COVID-19 vaccination. As of June 15, 2021, 61.5% of PLWH in Oregon received ≥ 1 COVID-19 vaccine dose. Younger PLWH, Hispanic/Latinx PLWH and PLWH who inject drugs or reside in rural and frontier areas had low vaccine uptake while PLWH who were engaged in care, enrolled in the AIDS Drug Assistance Program, and vaccinated against influenza had high vaccine uptake. Greater advocacy, education, and care navigation are required to increase COVID-19 vaccine access and uptake among PLWH.

Recent studies have shown that the severely mentally ill (SMI) are at higher risk for HIV infection than the general population. At the same time, the number of HIV prevention programs available for this priority population is extremely low. The purpose of this study was to identify the extent to which community-based organizations conduct HIV prevention for severely mentally ill people. Telephone interviews with HIV prevention program managers in San Francisco were conducted over two weeks in 2003. Of the 21 agencies funded by the San Francisco Department of Public Health, only three agencies included severely mentally ill people as a priority population for their prevention efforts. However, 16 agencies reported that they provided prevention services to the SMI, even though they were not considered a priority risk population. Three providers reported no SMI among the population they served. Additional studies are also needed to examine the capacity building elements that are necessary for HIV prevention program providers to plan, design, and implement prevention programs tailored for SMI individuals.
