The HIV/AIDS epidemic is a global health crisis that affects diverse populations worldwide. In this article, we focus on the specific context of Minnesota, where a significant population of refugees has been affected by HIV/AIDS from 2000 to 2007. We explore the challenges and unique factors influencing the spread and management of HIV/AIDS in this community, examining both medical and social aspects. The analysis draws attention to the need for culturally sensitive healthcare, education, and support programs to address the distinct needs of Minnesota's HIV-infected refugee population.
