| مستخلص: | Purpose: This study examines the HIV knowledge of people living with HIV (PLWH) and its implications for improved healthcare outcomes. Methods: The study design was a descriptive cross-sectional study, and a total of 41 PLWH were recruited from a larger faith-based anti-stigma study. Data was collected using a semi-structured self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using SAS. In addition, a literature review was conducted using search engines to gauge existing literature from 2013 to 2022 in areas of HIV knowledge and healthcare outcomes among PLWH. Results: The 41 PLWH enrolled consisted of 51% males and 49% females. Sixteen (39%) were aged ≥ 51 years, 17 (41%) had been living with HIV for > 10 years, 15 (37%) had < high school diploma, and 100% were currently in HIV care. HIV knowledge scores were below average for 20 (49%) of the PLWH. Substantial knowledge deficits were noted in areas of HIV transmission and risk reduction strategies. Lower scores were not significantly associated with the participant's gender, education level, or length of time being HIV-infected. The results of the literature review showed limited research in this area. Conclusions: The study and literature review results show that HIV knowledge and health literacy may contribute to racial disparities in retention in care leading to poor health outcomes. Healthcare providers and health facilities in rural areas should be equipped with culturally tailored HIV educational tools to strengthen ongoing care for PLWH, foster patient-provider relationships, and eliminate internalized stigma detrimental to improved healthcare outcomes among PLWH.
