INTRODUCTION The Southeastern UnitedStates is disproportionately affected by HIV, and unfavorable attitudes toward HIV among healthcare providers in these communities can negatively impact persons living with HIV (PLWH)
Negative attitudes toward HIV and persons living with HIV (PLWH) remain significant barriers to interprofessional collaboration among healthcare providers, and are barriers to providing quality care and accessing or seeking care
Trainees could share and discuss their views, and engage in perspective-taking activities when students from other disciplines share divergent views. Such activities could equip students with the ability to self-reflect, communicate, and empathize with providers who may not share their perspectives about PLWH
Summary
States is disproportionately affected by HIV, and unfavorable attitudes toward HIV among healthcare providers in these communities can negatively impact persons living with HIV (PLWH). The southeastern region of the United States is disproportionately affected by HIV, accounting for nearly half of new HIV diagnoses among adults and adolescents annually (CDC, 2013). Most of these diagnoses are due to sexual transmission among men who have sex with men (MSM), and in the southeastern U.S, black women and black MSM are vulnerable to HIV (CDC, 2013). In order to provide appropriate care for PLWH, it is essential that healthcare providers in the Southeastern U.S are sensitive to and knowledgeable about the unique needs of this population
