The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed longstanding vulnerabilities in our healthcare system, and has laid bare the individuals and communities most threatened by insufficient public health support. In the United States, persons with HIV (PWH) represent a heterogenous population with complex medical and sociobehavioral needs currently unmet by systemically flawed care models [1, 2]. Thriving on health disparity, COVID-19 devastates the same communities where HIV prevalence is highest [3], illuminating the catastrophic synergy of poverty, policies, and structural racism [4]. This unprecedented time demands reexamination of HIV care delivery, paving the way for a revitalized healthcare infrastructure tailored to the needs of PWH and those at-risk of HIV to realize the goals of the ending the HIV epidemic (EHE) initiative [5].
