Abstract

This article discusses African Americans, their being representative of one-third of all cumulative AIDS cases in the U.

Traditional middle class European American intervention treatment models do not consider the barriers to prevention and intervention facing African Americans. Research has emphasized the need for promoting prosocial motives, including re-entry into a moral community, renewed spirituality, self-esteem, and establishment of one's role in the family.
