According to national statistics, approximately 54% of new HIV-positive infections in the U.S. occur among African Americans, and half of all new infections in the U.S. occur in people 25 years of age or younger. Because of these astounding numbers, it is imperative that healthcare professionals are aware and prepared to work with this special at-risk population. However, working with HIV-positive African-American youth oftentimes introduces healthcare providers to unique clinical and ethical challenges. Regardless of the health professional's discipline (i.e., counselor, social worker, psychologist, nurse), there are specific ethical and clinical guidelines that need to be considered when working with these youth. This course reviews the evidenced-based research pertaining to the provision of healthcare to HIV-positive African-American youth. Specifically, common errors that occur when working with this special population are addressed and tools to avoid them are discussed. Treatment guidelines are provided to enable clinicians to better integrate culturally-sensitive approaches into the care of this important at-risk group.
