Abstract

HIV-related stigmas contribute to disparities, and contact with HIV-positive individuals has been suggested to reduce stigma. Faith-based organizations have been recognized as important to stigma reduction efforts among African American populations; however, relatively few church-based studies have measured HIV-related stigma. This study uses baseline data (N = 1,448) from a study with 14 African American churches in Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas, to examine correlates of HIV-related stigmas among church members and community members accessing church social services using two previously validated scales that measure discomfort interacting with individuals with HIV and anticipated stigma or rejection. Knowing someone with HIV was associated with lower discomfort, even after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics and sexual risk, HIV knowledge, previous communication about HIV at church, and mean drug and homosexuality stigmas. Knowing someone with HIV was not associated with anticipated stigma or rejection after adjustment. Contact-based interventions hold promise for reducing discomfort around people with HIV among church-affiliated populations.

堪萨斯城非裔美国人教会附属人群中与 HIV 相关的污名的相关性。

与 HIV 相关的污名化导致了差异，与 HIV 阳性者接触被认为可以减少污名化。基于信仰的组织被认为对减少非裔美国人的污名化工作非常重要；然而，相对而言，很少有基于教堂的研究对与 HIV 相关的污名化进行测量。本研究使用了密苏里州堪萨斯城和堪萨斯州 14 个非裔美国人教堂的基线数据（N = 1,448 人），使用两个以前验证过的量表（测量与 HIV 感染者互动时的不适感和预期的污名或排斥）来研究教堂成员和获得教堂社会服务的社区成员中与 HIV 相关的污名的相关性。即使在调整了社会人口学特征、性风险、艾滋病知识、以前在教会中关于艾滋病的交流以及对毒品和同性恋的刻板印象之后，认识艾滋病感染者与较低的不适感仍有关联。经过调整后，认识艾滋病毒感染者与预期的污名化或排斥并无关联。以接触为基础的干预措施有望减少教会成员对艾滋病病毒感染者的不适感。
