title: A model for cultural competency in the HIV management of African American patients.
abstract: Cultural competency is an area in which physicians of all races must work to insure they are giving their patients the best possible care. Perhaps nowhere is this better demonstrated than in the struggle to provide culturally appropriate care to black patients who are infected with HIV. The BESAFE model for cultural competency suggested by the National Minority AIDS Education and Training Center will assist healthcare providers in fostering a relationship of mutuality and health promotion.
