In this article, I examine how a black community organizes itself to deal with the AIDS epidemic, and the role of bias in both community organizations and an anthropologist's research activities. As creatures of culture we all have our biases, although we may not be aware of them. For the researcher, predispositions towards or away from actions, ideas, and/or persons form a framework for ethnography, event analysis, and network analysis in formal and informal community groups. Similarly, biases that individuals and groups possess influence their awareness, or nonawareness, of AIDS issues. These biases vary across subgroups with different social agendas, and they may undermine the effectiveness of community organizations attempting to heighten AIDS awareness
