Abstract

Abstract In the United States, approximately 1.1 million people have HIV, and 15% of them are unaware of their disease. The United States has one of the larger populations of undocumented residents in the world. These undocumented residents pose an equal risk of HIV infection and transmission as U.S. citizens. Migration status, strict policies, fear of deportation, and low-income status prevents these individuals from seeking HIV screening and treatment options.For the United States to achieve robust HIV prevention and treatment, more organizations and services are needed to address HIV infections and transmissions among undocumented residents.
美国无证移民中隐藏的艾滋病毒负担
摘要在美国,大约有110万人感染了艾滋病毒,其中15%的人不知道自己的疾病。美国是世界上非法居留人口最多的国家之一。这些无证居民与美国公民一样面临感染和传播艾滋病毒的风险。移民身份、严格的政策、对被驱逐出境的恐惧以及低收入身份使这些人无法寻求艾滋病毒筛查和治疗选择。为了使美国实现强有力的艾滋病毒预防和治疗,需要更多的组织和服务来解决无证居民中的艾滋病毒感染和传播问题。
