On National Rural Health Day, ANAC and ANAC’s Rural Committee want to highlight the disproportionate health outcomes faced by those living in rural areas including those living with HIV. In the last two decades, HIV incidence has increased in rural communities and living in rural areas is associated with lower rates of HIV testing and PrEP usage, delayed HIV diagnosis, slower initiation of antiretroviral therapy and increased HIV-related mortality.
