Plain Language Summary: African, Caribbean and other Black people are a priority population for HIV prevention.

Furthermore, perceptions community members and service providers have about HIV risk may not reflect the overall distribution of risk in this population. …

Emerging evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa shows that social determinants of health (SDOH) impact the distribution of HIV risk. However, SDOH are context-specific, and to date, virtually no research has explored their impact on HIV risk among ACBP in North America. …
