Abstract
HIV/AIDS has disproportionately impacted Hispanics/Latinos in the United States. This literature review focuses on the disparities that exist in the impact of HIV/AIDS across Hispanic subgroups. Elimination of these disparities requires attention to underlying biological, behavioral and psychological, social and cultural, and economic and structural factors. Attention to factors within these domains has important implications for the reduction of other health-related disparities that exist across Hispanic/Latino subgroups in the United States.
