Abstract: Acknowledges the prevalence of HIV/AIDS within minority communities in the U.S. and strives to educate physicians about the barriers to treatment that exist for minority patients. By analyzing the main causes of treatment failure and promoting respect for individual and cultural values, this book teaches readers to provide responsive, patient-centered care and devise preventive strategies for minority communities. Comprehensive chapters are contributed by physicians with extensive experience dealing with HIV/AIDS in minority communities. From publisher description.
