RESUMO
Data are presented from a qualitative study that explored the impact of relationships with medical providers on late entry into HIV/AIDS medical care. In-depth interviews were conducted with ten males living on the US-Mexico border who entered medical care late in the progression of HIV. The findings focus on past relationships with medical providers and the perception of risk on both the part of the medical provider and the study participant. Current policy and programmatic trends and recommendations are discussed.
