Abstract

The disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS on African Americans is a significant public health challenge. The complex constellation of individual, social, and environmental factors influencing transmission, require ecological solutions that recognize these multiple levels of influence and actively involve communities. This article describes the formation of a community-based coalition and highlights three initiatives it has undertaken in the areas of mobile HIV testing, HIV education, and faith-based work to improve HIV services for African Americans.

摘要

艾滋病毒/艾滋病对非裔美国人产生的不成比例影响是一项重大的公共卫生挑战。影响传播的个人、社会和环境因素错综复杂，这需要采取生态解决方案，认识到这些多层次的影响并积极让社区参与进来。本文描述了一个基于社区的联盟的形成，并重点介绍了该联盟在移动艾滋病毒检测、艾滋病毒教育和基于信仰的工作领域为改善非裔美国人的艾滋病毒服务而开展的三项举措。
