Black and Latina women face challenges in changing behavior with respect to HIV and AIDS transmission. The most important is the apparent perception by minority women that AIDS is a “gay white man’s problem.” From 1989-1995, AIDS cases among women are expected to increase 300 – 500%. Among women who contract AIDS through sexual activity, 77% are Black or Latina. Among intravenous (IV) drug users, the AIDS prevalence rate is nearly 50%. Among women in IV users with AIDS, 80% are Black or Latina. Yet when surveyed, minority women at all socioeconomic levels downplay the risk that AIDS poses. A survey of Black college student women revealed less than one-fourth insist that their partners use condoms.Low-income minority women who live outside the law, due to prostitution or drug use, have always lived with risk. They may not prioritize time and attention on the risk of AIDS due to other concerns such as protecting their children, securing financial resources, and simply acquiring basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. Interviewees in temporary women’s housing express helplessness about changing their external circumstances, dooming outreach efforts based on proactive efforts made by these women.Ignoring relevant cultural contexts means that simplistic government messages (e.g., “Just say no”) often fail because they ignore the reality in which AIDS is spread. Among IV drug users, networks of surprisingly tight-knit communities exist in which users provide both emotional and tangible support for one another. Such communities have their own values, roles, and status markers. Outreach workers must recognize that needle sharing, while bad, is a form of social support (sharing) that exists in these social networks. When attempting to get women to insist their partners use condoms to reduce the sexual spread of HIV, outreach workers must recognize that in some minority communities, especially traditional Catholic Latino communities, women are not expected to take control of sexual situations and decisions. Simply walking into a store and purchasing condoms risks no small amount of social censure for being seen as a “loose” woman.Question 3A person who is well-known in his local subculture of IV drug users is highly regarded by his fellow addicts and receives support in the manner mentioned in the passage.
