摘要

简介/背景:非裔美国人和黑人是美国和全球任何种族群体中人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)负担最重的。非洲裔美国人中艾滋病毒感染率较高的原因有很多,其中包括缺乏对艾滋病毒状况的认识。非洲裔美国人占最新估计的艾滋病毒/获得性免疫缺陷综合征(艾滋病)诊断的近50%,其中大多数人是在出现艾滋病症状后才进行检测的。此外,非洲裔美国人在发现自己是艾滋病毒阳性后,更有可能推迟医疗护理。目的:本研究的目的是描述非洲裔美国人使用唾液快速检测(SRT)方法的可能性,如果HIV阳性进入医疗保健。方法/设计:对38名非裔美国人进行焦点小组调查。本研究的目的是(1)描述预测或影响非裔美国人参与SRT的可能性的个人因素、社会资源、社会人口因素、认知评价、健康和应对行为,如果阳性,随后进入医疗保健(2)评估HIV检测调查项目并修改它们以适应文化和语言。修正后的综合健康寻求与应对范式(CHSCP)指导研究。结果:参与研究的38名非裔美国成年人中,女性16名,年龄18-49岁,平均年龄23岁;男性22名,年龄18-49岁,平均年龄29.5岁。数据显示了八个主题:熟悉度、耻辱、恐惧、可及性、即时性、易用性、责任程度和信任。针对性别的主题是保健(妇女)和疾病管理(男子)。分性别主题的次主题是坚忍(女性)和愤怒(男性)。含义:确定影响接受艾滋病毒检测可能性的因素可以提供信息,为制定干预措施提供基础,以促进艾滋病毒检测和早期与医疗保健的联系。

Engagement of African Americans with Rapid HIV Testing and HIV Care
Introduction/Background: African Americans and Blacks experience the greatest human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) burden of any racial group in the US and globally. A number of challenges contribute to the higher rates of HIV infection among African Americans, including a lack of awareness of HIV status. African Americans account for nearly 50% of the newly estimated HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) diagnoses, with the majority being tested only after developing symptoms of AIDS. Moreover, African Americans are more likely to postpone medical care after finding out that they are HIV positive. Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe African Americans’ likelihood of using salivary rapid testing (SRT) methods and entry into healthcare if HIV positive. Methods/Design: Focus groups were conducted among 38 African Americans. The purpose of this study was to (1) describe personal factors, social resources, socio-demographic factors, cognitive appraisal, and health and coping behaviors which predict or influence the likelihood of African Americans’ participation in SRT and, if positive, subsequent entry into healthcare and (2) to evaluate HIV Testing Survey items and modify them to be culturally and linguistically appropriate. A modified Comprehensive Health Seeking and Coping Paradigm guided the study (CHSCP). Results: Of the 38 African American adults who participated in the study, 16 were female between the ages of 18–49 and the mean age was 23 years and there were 22 males, aged between 18–49 and the mean age was 29.5 years. Eight themes emerged from the data: familiarity, stigma, fear, access, immediacy, ease, degree of responsibility, and trust. Gender specific themes were health maintenance (women) and illness management (men). Sub-themes within gender-specific themes were stoicism (women) and anger (men). Implications: Identifying the factors that influence the likelihood of HIV testing uptake can provide information on which to base development of interventions to facilitate HIV testing and earlier linkage to healthcare.
