Whether due to economic issues, access to care, sociocultural values and beliefs, or communication barriers, eliminating disparities in HIV/AIDS care among minority populations and certain groups remains an important goal for health-care providers, policy makers, and treatment advocates. While individuals with HIV share many of the key issues and challenges of living with HIV/AIDS, effective HIV prevention and care obligates the recognition and thorough understanding of specific issues that are unique to a group.

This seminar explores the specific healthcare needs of several groups and outlines disease-, epidemiology-, and population-specific treatment strategies to optimize patient outcomes as well as reviews the role of new therapeutic agents. |
