Medical mistrust plays a role in the extent to which Blacks access, receive, and continue with medical care. An examination of the literature on medical mistrust among Blacks living with HIV/AIDS was conducted and factors such as racial pride, religiosity, and communication were found to contribute to the development of medical mistrust within the Black community. A quantitative examination of medical mistrust due to differences in religiosity, racial pride, physician-patient communication, age, and sex among native and foreign-born Blacks living with HIV/AIDS was conducted. Three hypotheses were tested using one-way ANOVA and multiple regression analyses. Results from this study suggest that native-born participants may mistrust medical systems at a higher rate than their foreign-born counterparts.
