title: Tennessee HIV/AIDS people of color project.
abstract: The 25th anniversary of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the United States occurred in 2006. Despite advances in detection, treatment, and care, AIDS, along with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) remain formidable opponents. Tremendous strides have been made in educating the public about associated risk factors and effective prevention methods. However, this has occurred less in communities of color. The paper describes collaboration among public health practitioners and academics to design and conduct research about HIV/AIDS needs and assets in Tennessee's communities of color.
