The HIV/AIDS epidemic is a health crisis among Black men who have sex with men (MSM). HIV-related stigma presents a primary barrier to sexual communication and effective HIV prevention. Using in-depth, qualitative interviews conducted with 20 HIV-positive Black MSM between 2007 and 2008 in Chicago, Illinois, we explored the themes related to HIV-related stigma and the underlying messages HIV-positive Black MSM receive regarding their status. Stigmatizing messages stem from family, churches, and the gay community and from negative, internalized, beliefs HIV-positive Black MSM held about infected individuals before their own infection. HIV stigma influences sexual silence around HIV disclosure, especially to sexual partners.
艾滋病毒/艾滋病疫情是男男性行为者(MSM)中黑人男性面临的健康危机。与艾滋病毒相关的耻辱感是性沟通和有效艾滋病毒预防的主要障碍。本研究使用 2007 年至 2008 年间在伊利诺伊州芝加哥对 20 名艾滋病毒阳性黑人男男性行为者进行的深入定性访谈,探讨了与艾滋病毒相关耻辱感相关的主题以及艾滋病毒阳性黑人男男性行为者收到的关于其状况的潜在信息。污名化信息源于家庭、教堂和同性恋社区,以及艾滋病毒阳性黑人男男性行为者在感染之前对感染者持有的负面、内化的信念。艾滋病毒耻辱感影响了艾滋病毒披露方面的性沉默,尤其是对性伴侣。
