African American women continue to be disproportionately affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, yet there are few effective HIV prevention interventions that are exclusively tailored to their lives and that address their risk factors. Using an ecological framework, we offer a comprehensive overview of the risk factors that are driving the HIV/AIDS epidemic among African American women and explicate the consequences of ignoring these factors in HIV prevention strategies. We also recommend ways to improve HIV prevention programs by taking into consideration the unique life experiences of adult African American women.
非裔美国女性在艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行中仍然受到不成比例的影响,然而专门针对她们的生活并解决其风险因素的有效艾滋病毒预防干预措施却很少。利用生态框架,我们全面概述了导致非裔美国女性中艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行的风险因素,并阐述了在艾滋病毒预防策略中忽视这些因素的后果。我们还建议通过考虑成年非裔美国女性独特的生活经历来改进艾滋病毒预防计划的方法。
