Abstract
ABSTRACT Washington, D.C. continues to lead the nation in the rate of HIV infection. This urban area has the largest Ethiopian population in the United States, yet very little has been known about the knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes regarding HIV/AIDS of adult Ethiopian immigrants in the District. Based on a community-based participatory research (CBPR) project, this article reports the findings of the perceptions of HIV/AIDS knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes of 60 Ethiopian immigrants using a cross-sectional survey. Results describe challenges in immigrants’ knowledge, risk-behaviors, and stigmatizing attitudes toward others with HIV/AIDS. Study implications, limitations, and future research are addressed.
