Explain what a health disparity is, particularly in relation to HIV


A health disparity is when there is a disproportionate disease burden on one group versus another group or when a group is overrepresented in a disease in comparison to their proportion of the population. This may be an observable difference in health conditions, health outcomes, or access to care in a population subgroup when compared to a larger group. Health disparities are very common with HIV infection.?
