Abstract
Abstract: HIV continues to affect populations made socially vulnerable, including Latinx groups. For Spanish-speaking people, there are additional social factors that increase their vulnerability. How we communicate, mainly language, is fundamental to achieving expected outcomes when implementing health interventions. In this article, we address the issue of language justice and how it has been applied to meet the needs of Spanish-speaking Latinx populations in different locations in the United States when conducting HIV implementation science research. Language justice can inform HIV implementation science research to be inclusive, equitable, and reflective of the diverse populations aimed to serve, ultimately leading to a more just health care system and better health outcomes.
期刊介绍:
JAIDS: Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes seeks to end the HIV epidemic by presenting important new science across all disciplines that advance our understanding of the biology, treatment and prevention of HIV infection worldwide.
JAIDS: Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes is the trusted, interdisciplinary resource for HIV- and AIDS-related information with a strong focus on basic and translational science, clinical science, and epidemiology and prevention. Co-edited by the foremost leaders in clinical virology, molecular biology, and epidemiology, JAIDS publishes vital information on the advances in diagnosis and treatment of HIV infections, as well as the latest research in the development of therapeutics and vaccine approaches. This ground-breaking journal brings together rigorously peer-reviewed articles, reviews of current research, results of clinical trials, and epidemiologic reports from around the world.
