Homelessness and unstable housing situations are associated with higher rates of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C infection (HCV), according to researchers from Columbia University in New York City, McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and the Ontario HIV Treatment Network in Canada. The researchers reviewed 152 studies involving 139,757 individuals who had HIV or were co-infected with HCV. The researchers found “strong evidence” that the lack of stable, secure, and adequate housing is a significant barrier to consistent and appropriate medical care, as well as the reduction of risk behaviors.
