Abstract
Persons with HIV (PWH) represent a socially and medically vulnerable population who often depend on public resources. We examined voter registration among PWH in North Carolina. Sixty-four percent were registered to vote. Registration was lower among PWH who were young, Hispanic, publicly insured or uninsured, and who had poor HIV health status.Funding Information
