When most think of those affected by HIV/AIDS residing in urban areas.

Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant (learner) in this session will be able to: 1. Analyze 3 determinants of risk behavior of communities in the southern US. 2. Identify differential experiences of HIV services utilization and access among HIV-affected residents of the southern US.
