HIV/AIDS

AI/AN gay, bisexual, and Two-Spirit males, especially those on reservations or in rural areas, may face culturally based stigma and confidentiality concerns that interfere in learning about HIV prevention and getting HIV testing. Cultural differences, beliefs, and practices may also be an obstacle, with more 200 different languages spoken across more than 500 federally recognized AI/AN tribe. Other barriers may include socioeconomic issues, substance use disorders, and mistrust of government health care and the government itself.
