African-American young men who have sex with men and transgender persons are at elevated risk for HIV infection. House and Ball communities, networks of mostly African-American gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals who compete in modeling and dance, represent a prime venue for HIV prevention with these difficult-to-reach populations; however, little research exists on effective approaches to HIV prevention within these communities. Using a mixed-methods approach, the present study sought to document participation in HIV prevention activities of a sample from the Los Angeles House and Ball communities (n = 263) in order to inform future service development. While 80% of participants were tested for HIV within the past 6 months, only 26% report HIV prevention program attendance. House leaders recommend a holistic approach to HIV prevention, one that incorporates attention to social problems beyond HIV, including poverty, housing difficulties, and lack of job training.
与男性发生性关系的非裔美国青年以及跨性别者感染艾滋病毒的风险较高。豪斯舞和舞会社群主要由非裔美国同性恋、双性恋和跨性别者组成，他们参与模特和舞蹈比赛，是针对这些难以接触到的人群开展艾滋病毒预防工作的主要场所；然而，关于在这些社群内有效开展艾滋病毒预防工作的方法，相关研究很少。本研究采用混合研究方法，试图记录洛杉矶豪斯舞和舞会社群样本（n = 263）参与艾滋病毒预防活动的情况，以便为未来的服务发展提供参考。虽然80%的参与者在过去6个月内接受了艾滋病毒检测，但只有26%的人报告参加过艾滋病毒预防项目。豪斯舞社群领袖建议采用整体的艾滋病毒预防方法，这种方法要关注除艾滋病毒之外的社会问题，包括贫困、住房困难和缺乏职业培训。
