Abstract

This study examined the epidemiology of HIV among AI/ANs in Montana. Barriers to HIV testing and motivations to test also were explored. Analysis of data revealed that there were no significant changes in regard to HIV/AIDS case rates, demographic characteristics, or risk behaviors of AI/ANs infected with HIV/AIDS since reporting began in 1985. Barriers to testing included low perception of risk and fear of people finding out about the test. Despite major barriers to testing identified in this study, AI/ANs appeared to be testing at a higher rate than Whites.

摘要

本研究调查了蒙大拿州美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AI/ANs）中的艾滋病病毒（HIV）流行病学情况。同时还探讨了HIV检测的障碍和检测动机。数据分析显示，自1985年开始报告以来，感染HIV/AIDS的AI/ANs在HIV/AIDS病例率、人口统计学特征或风险行为方面没有显著变化。检测障碍包括对风险的认知度低以及担心他人知晓检测情况。尽管本研究确定了检测存在重大障碍，但AI/ANs的检测率似乎高于白人。
