Thirty years into the epidemic, young men who have sex with men (YMSM) continue to be the largest at-risk group for HIV infection in the United States. In this qualitative study, face-to-face confidential interviews were conducted with 10 recently diagnosed YMSM. The purpose of the study was to explore the factors that may have contributed to each young man's recent HIV diagnosis and to solicit his perspectives on the design and efficacy of existing HIV prevention programs. Content analysis of the interview data revealed four major themes: personal risks, lack of relevant education, accessing the Internet, and the need for mentors. The informants in this study recommended the formulation of age-specific education interventions and the development of HIV prevention interventions that match the sophistication level and needs of today's gay youth to reduce the number of new HIV infections in YMSM.
艾滋病疫情已持续 30 年，男男性行为者（MSM）依然是美国 HIV 感染的最大高危群体。在这项定性研究中，研究人员与 10 名新近确诊的 MSM 进行了面对面的保密访谈。研究目的是探究可能导致每位年轻男性近期 HIV 诊断的因素，并征求他们对现有 HIV 预防方案的设计和效果的看法。对访谈数据的内容分析揭示了四个主要主题：个人风险、缺乏相关教育、上网和需要导师。本研究中的知情者建议制定针对特定年龄的教育干预措施，并制定符合当今男同性恋青年复杂程度和需求的 HIV 预防干预措施，以减少 MSM 中新的 HIV 感染人数。
