Abstract
The impact of AIDS has been most notable in three subpopulations in the United States: the gay community, intravenous drug abusers and minority groups, particularly Blacks and Hispanics. Little information is available on the cultural considerations which are relevant in the treatment of these individuals. This article describes basic principles of cross-cultural analysis, explores individual aspects of AIDS in these populations and discusses the implications for health care providers.Keywords
