Questionnaires were distributed to homosexual and bisexual male participants in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study and to homosexual and bisexual male patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) to determine whether the men believed they had been refused medical or dental treatment because of their sexual orientation or a condition related to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Men with AIDS were significantly more likely (18%) to report being refused treatment by a doctor or dentist on the basis of a known or suspected HIV-related condition than were men who were seropositive (5%) or seronegative (1%). Significantly more respondents reported refusal of dental care than of medical care.
问卷被分发给多中心艾滋病队列研究中的同性恋和双性恋男性参与者以及患有获得性免疫缺陷综合征(艾滋病)的同性恋和双性恋男性患者,以确定这些男性是否认为他们因性取向或与人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)相关的状况而被拒绝接受医疗或牙科治疗。与血清反应阳性(5%)或血清反应阴性(1%)的男性相比,患有艾滋病的男性更有可能(18%)报告因已知或疑似与HIV相关的状况而被医生或牙医拒绝治疗。报告被拒绝牙科护理的受访者明显多于被拒绝医疗护理的受访者。
