1. Description of Issue, Indicator, and Focus
Transcultural Nursing Issue
The transcultural nursing issue addresses the disparities in HIV diagnosis rates among
African Americans. This issue encompasses the need to understand and address the
cultural, social, and structural factors contributing to African Americans’ higher
vulnerability to HIV.
Healthy People 2030 Leading Health Indicator (LHI)
The approved Healthy People 2030 Leading Health Indicator that aligns with this issue is
“Sexually Transmitted Infections.” This LHI focuses on reducing HIV-related disparities
and new diagnoses, emphasizing preventive measures, increased awareness, and access to
testing and treatment to enhance community health.
Cultural Focus
The cultural focus of this project is the African-American community. This community
has a unique cultural context, historical experiences, and health-seeking behaviors
influence their vulnerability to HIV and the disparities in HIV diagnosis rates.

3. Summary
Article 1
Cultural interventions addressing disparities in the HIV prevention and
treatment cascade among Black/African Americans by Vitsupakorn et al. (2023)
identify a range of culturally specific interventions intended to improve HIV
prevention and treatment results. Nevertheless, the article highlights the critical value
of culturally sensitive methods, emphasizing that successful treatments must consider
the distinctive cultural elements, social determinants, and historical background that
substantially impact HIV-related behaviors within this community. Furthermore,
Vitsupakorn et al. (2023) discuss various interventions, from community-based
educational programs to peer support initiatives and healthcare provider training in
cultural competency. Consequently, these interventions aim to foster trust, improve
communication, and expand access to healthcare services.
Article 2
Alter and Morocho’s (2021) research centers on pivotal aspects of HIV-related
Knowledge, HIV testing decision-making processes, and perceptions concerning
alcohol use as a risk factor for HIV among Black and African American women. This
study provides crucial insights into the factors that shape HIV prevention behaviors
and decision-making within this specific demographic. Furthermore, the study’s
findings illustrate the central role of HIV-related knowledge in influencing
individuals’ decisions regarding testing and prevention measures..
Nevertheless, Alter and Morocho (2021) highlight the significance of
informed decision-making, emphasizing the importance of empowering individuals to
take control of their healthcare choices. This article underscores healthcare providers’
need to engage in open and non-judgmental discussions with patients regarding
substance use and its potential implications for HIV risk. Therefore, by discerning the
intricate interplay between alcohol use, risk perception, and prevention behaviors,
healthcare professionals can better tailor their interventions to meet the specific needs
of this population.
4. Educational Plan
Key Points to Share:
1. Highlight the importance of cultural interventions, as outlined in the scoping
review by Vitsupakorn et al. (2023), in addressing disparities in the HIV
prevention and treatment cascade within the African-American community.
2. Discuss the findings from Alter and Morocho’s (2021) study, emphasizing the role
of HIV-related knowledge and decision-making processes in shaping HIV
prevention behaviors.

treatment, considering the unique cultural factors and perceptions of the African
American community.
Best Practices:
1. Cultural competency in healthcare delivery, respectful communication, and

2. Community engagement and partnerships to develop and implement culturally
sensitive interventions.
3. Increasing knowledge by discussing strategies for increasing HIV-related
expertise within the community, including educational campaigns and outreach
programs.
Ethical Issues and Conflict of Care:
1. Informed Consent – The ethical importance of obtaining informed consent when
conducting HIV testing and treatment.
2. Confidentiality – There is a need for maintaining patient confidentiality and
privacy in HIV-related care.
3. Non-Discrimination – The ethical obligation to provide non-discriminatory care to
all individuals, regardless of their HIV status or cultural background.
