The Sexual Health Model is a culturally congruent model that incorporates established adaptive coping strategies. Importantly, it promotes sexual connectedness, sexual ownership, and body awareness within an African American sociocultural context

It identifies key elements from successful interventions and discusses how they were incorporated into a community-based HIV risk reduction intervention for African American men who have sex with men and women

It focuses on two major factors, confusion about race-based stereotypes and historical health disparities and mistrust, which have influenced the understanding of African American sexuality. Importantly, it discusses the limitations of what is known and makes recommendations for HIV/AIDS and sexuality research.
