Abstract

A study is done to examine whether demographic disparities in the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) persist in 2001 and if outpatient care is associated with HAART utilization. An attempt to increase access to care and frequency of outpatient visits for underutilizing groups as well as increased efforts to reduce persistent disparities in women, African Americans and injection drug users was suggested.

Abstract

The caregiving literature concentrates on European-American caregivers caring for spouses or parents with Alzheimer's disease. Such research has neglected ethnographic aspects and caregivers of patients suffering from other diseases. A study of 8 African-American mothers of adult HIV patients showed the importance they gave to spiritual support and their belief that life, illness and death are ultimately God's will, Health care professionals must be sensitive to patients' religious beliefs and practice culturally appropriate medicine.
