In Alabama, 70 % of new HIV cases are among African Americans. Because the Black Church plays an important role for many African Americans in the south, we conducted qualitative interviews with 10 African American pastors recruited for an HIV intervention study in rural Alabama. Two main themes emerged: (1) HIV stigma is prevalent and (2) the role of the Black Church in addressing HIV in the African American community. Our data suggest that pastors in rural Alabama are willing to be engaged in HIV prevention solutions; more formalized training is needed to decrease stigma, strengthen HIV prevention and support persons living with HIV/AIDS.
在阿拉巴马州，70%的新增艾滋病病毒感染病例发生在非裔美国人当中。由于黑人教会在南方许多非裔美国人的生活中扮演着重要角色，我们对10名非裔美国牧师进行了定性访谈，这些牧师是为阿拉巴马州农村地区的一项艾滋病病毒干预研究招募的。出现了两个主要主题：（1）艾滋病病毒污名化普遍存在；（2）黑人教会在非裔美国人社区应对艾滋病病毒方面的作用。我们的数据表明，阿拉巴马州农村地区的牧师愿意参与艾滋病病毒预防解决方案；需要更正规的培训来减少污名化、加强艾滋病病毒预防并支持艾滋病病毒感染者/艾滋病患者。
