HIV/AIDS and Nondecision in Louisiana

A Case Study of Prevention Strategy in Three Black Communities

William Arp, III

Southern University

The HIV/AIDS infection rates are increasing in predominantly Black communities while decreasing among other previously at-risk groups. This study reviews the prevention strategies of three agencies operating within three Black communities in the state of Louisiana. Research findings indicate that state agencies failed to consider salient issues that would permit effective confrontation of this disease in Black communities. Their initial failure equates to nondecision and renders subsequent formulations of policy, present and future, grossly inadequate.

Key Words: HIV/AIDS • prevention • nondecision • policy making • failure of HIV/AIDS prevention
