After Dr. Eloise V. Lewis viewed a power point presentation in 2004 by Dr. Arthur Johnson of Tripler Army Hospital, she was quite astonished at the high rate of HIV/AIDS infections among African-Americans. Her curiosity broadened to include perceptions of genocide conspiracy and HIV/AIDS, sexual health practices and HIV /AIDS, racial cultures impacted by HIV/AIDS including how HIV/AIDS has impacted sub cultures in America such as men who have sex with men (MSM), white homosexual men, and African American adolescent boys and men.

Bush's administration unveiled policy with the goal to significantly impact AIDS through the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), contributing over 148 billion dollars at home and worldwide. Although this global effort is making a great impact, the epidemiology of HIV/
