Abstract	This manual is designed to aid health care practitioners in providing culturally appropriate HIV/AIDS (Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) education, counseling, and care. Cultural competency is defined as the ability to work effectively with culturally diverse clients and communities because the individual agency or system exhibits culturally appropriate attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and policies. It goes beyond cultural sensitivity or awareness to put into practice culturally appropriate interventions and ways of relating. The manual consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 clarifies cultural terminology. Chapter 2 provides nine self-assessment exercises for individuals concerning cultural competency. Chapter 3 outlines eight steps in providing culturally appropriate HIV/AIDS educational interventions. Chapter 4 examines culturally appropriate HIV counseling. Chapter 5 discusses providing culturally specific HIV counseling, education, and care for African American, Latino/Hispanic, Native American, and Asian American populations. Chapter 6 explores organizational cultural competency, providing worksheets and exercises for assessment of organizations. Appendices include a model of a cultural competence continuum, a list of resources and references, a list of relevant organizations, and guidelines for developing printed materials. (Contains 27 references.) (ND)
