The purpose was to help draw
guidelines for the development
of a culturally tailored HIV
prevention intervention.
Results indicated that most
human beings were educated
on the different ways that HIV
could be contracted; however,
the lowest percentage of
individuals were aware that the
disease could be contracted
through homosexuality.

Richard D. Moore, MD, MHS The purpose was to take
advantage of the lack of Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
treatment advances in a diverse
patient population with high
rates of poverty and Injection
Drug Use (IDU), and compare
health process and outcomes.
Results emphasize that
advances in HIV treatment
have had a positive impact on
all affected demographic and
behavioral risk groups in an
HIV clinical setting, with an
expected longevity for HIV
infected patients that is now 73
years.

This section provided a host of
information that range from
how and when HIV was first
detected, to treating the disease,
and ultimately living with the
disease.
Information gathered over the
years has raised HIV
awareness, fostered better care,
and has decreased the social
stigma.

Too many people continue to
be diagnosed with HIV late in
the course of their infection and
missed opportunities for
treatment and prevention.
The most preventive medicine
for this is to emphasize both
biomedical and behavioral
health as the best hope for
reducing HIV infection.
