This case study examined programmatic data from a federally funded faith-based rapid HIV testing initiative. In 2004, Recovery Consultants of Atlanta, Inc. (RCA, Inc.) began providing rapid HIV testing in collaboration with six Atlanta-based African-American churches. Of the 1,947 persons tested from January 2004 to July 2005, 1,872 (96.1%) were African-American, 1,247 (64%) were male, and 1,612 (82.8%) were between the age of 26 and 56. A total of 85 HIV-infected individuals were identified and 72 were identified as previously undiagnosed cases (positivity rate of 3.7%). This case study highlights and promotes rapid HIV testing offered in partnership with African American churches as a strategy for raising HIV awareness among inner-city substance users.
本案例研究分析了一项由联邦政府资助、基于宗教团体的艾滋病毒快速检测倡议的项目数据。2004年，亚特兰大康复咨询公司（RCA公司）开始与亚特兰大的六所非裔美国教会合作，提供艾滋病毒快速检测服务。在2004年1月至2005年7月接受检测的1947人中，1872人（96.1%）为非裔美国人，1247人（64%）为男性，1612人（82.8%）年龄在26至56岁之间。总共识别出85名艾滋病毒感染者，其中72例为先前未确诊的病例（阳性率为3.7%）。本案例研究强调并推广了与非裔美国教会合作开展的艾滋病毒快速检测，以此作为提高城市内吸毒者艾滋病毒知晓率的一项策略。
