Abstract

Data from the CDC's Medical Monitoring Project indicate that the United States is on track to meet one of five National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) Quality of Life goals among cisgender Black women, specifically, hunger/food insecurity. Substantial work needs to be done to improve self-rated health and to decrease unmet need for mental health services. Enhanced and coordinated action are necessary to reach all Quality of Life goals in this NHAS priority population.
