Immigrants and access to Medical Care
Undocumented immigrants: not eligible for federally funded public health insurance programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and the Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Exception: emergency care
Legal noncitizens (i.e. permanent residents)-- limited access to employer-based health coverage and restrictions: not eligible for Medicaid and SCHIP for the first 5 years
non-citizens (legal and undocumented) are far more likely to be uninsured than citizens (47% vs. 15%)

What is HIV? AIDS?HIV is a Virus that weakens
your immune system

Can HIV/AIDS be Treated?HIV/AIDS cannot be cured
but it CAN be treated Antiretroviral Therapy,
the treatment for HIV/AIDS can allow people to live with HIV and be healthy on as little as one pill a day
The earlier one is diagnosed, the earlier treatment can be started, & the longer they can live

How do we test for HIV?
HIV tests check for antibodies - immune system produces in reaction to HIV infection
Rapid tests –preliminary results in as little as 20 minutes.
![Page 17: HIV & Immigrant Communities Impact on Asians & Latinos Sneha Jacob, M.D., M.S. South Asian Total Health Initiative Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/56649dbf5503460f94ab3fa7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How does the HIV Test Work?Tests blood or a sample of cells
from inside cheek for antibodies to the virus.
Most people develop antibodies to the HIV virus within 3-6 months of infection.
If this test is positive lab technicians run 2 more tests; results can take from a few days to 2 weeks

Yearly testing if high risk of infection:
