Special Initiatives: What is Culturally Competent HIV Care

Statement of Principle
HAB has developed a Statement of Principle outlining its commitment to the delivery of culturally/linguistically appropriate care, as follows:

" HAB is committed to ensuring access to quality HIV health care and related supportive services for persons with HIV/AIDS and their families. Quality care means access to HIV services, information, and materials delivered by competent providers in a manner that factors in the language needs, cultural richness and diversity in whom we serve. "
