PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Despite the important strides made in HIV management over the past 2 decades, African-American and Latino men who have sex with men still face a hugely disproportionate risk for HIV infection relative to that of other populations. Unfortunately, uptake of HIV prevention strategies has been relatively low among those most likely to benefit. These patients face a host of challenges to the delivery of effective health care due to variety of social and structural barriers. In light of the recent data on continuing disparities in HIV transmission, overcoming obstacles to accessing prevention strategies is more critical than ever.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
As a result of participating in the activity, learners should be better able to: Describe the rationale for national directives for focused HIV-prevention interventionsIdentify patients who are likely to benefit from HIV-prevention strategiesImplement HIV-prevention services for appropriate patientsEmploy culturally competent educational strategies to improve the uptake of prevention strategies among patients at increased risk for HIV infection
