Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
the CDC provides national leadership whose mission is to control the HIV epidemic by working in conjunction with "community, state, national and international partners in surveillance, research, prevention and evaluation
activities (HIV/AIDS Prevention, 2006). The CDC has recommended the use of prevention programs that focus on attitudinal and behavioral change as a means for promoting the control of HIV/AIDS infection
(Williams, et al, 2003). However, despite efforts over the last decade, disease control prevention programs among African Americans have demonstrated no significant decrease in HIV/AIDS incidence, which continues to be
a leading cause of death and disability in this population (Williams, et al, 2003). This is especially true for African American women. While black women make up only 13.9 percent
of the US female population, they account for over 67.4 percent of all HIV-positive women and over 52 percent of all fully diagnosed AIDS cases (Williams, et al, 2003). This
means that African American women are 10 to 15 times more like at risk for HIV infection than their white counterparts (Williams, et al, 2003). The clear implication to this
statistic is that prevention measures implemented thus far do not address the specific needs and mindset of black women. The epidemic nature of this disease in black women relates to
"African American womens rights and underscores their physical, emotional and sociocultural vulnerability to HIV/AIDS" (Williams, et al, 2003, p. 108). Using the PICO method of constructing a well-built clinical
question involves identifying the patient and/or population; determining the nature of the intervention; comparing alternatives to the intervention; and determining the outcome of the intervention (UWHSL, 2006). The student
researching this topic mentions the use of "advance medications," but this is not appropriate to this investigation as there is no vaccine, as yet, that can protect against HIV infection.
