Personal chaos in HIV patients' lives may be a barrier to regular medical care, UCLA Study Shows
Unstable and unpredictable lifestyles are significant factors in determining access to health care among low-income, HIV-positive people, a new UCLA study has found. The study found that when HIV patients lead chaotic lives -- meaning they are disorganized or experience too many unexpected events -- that chaos can act as a barrier to regular medical care. The researchers also developed a new scale to gauge the level of chaos in an adult's life.
