Disproportionate rates of HIV are observed in Black women and men, especially in the Southern United States. We observed limited uptake of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) services in our Southern community among these groups, particularly Black men who have sex with men relative to new HIV cases in Birmingham, AL; 18% accessed PrEP services compared with 50% of new HIV cases. Further research is needed to understand PrEP access and uptake in high-risk populations.
在黑人女性和男性中,尤其是在美国南部,观察到艾滋病毒感染率不成比例。我们发现在我们南部社区的这些群体中,暴露前预防(PrEP)服务的使用率有限,特别是与阿拉巴马州伯明翰市新的艾滋病毒病例相比,男男性行为的黑人;18%的人使用了PrEP服务,而新艾滋病毒病例的这一比例为50%。需要进一步研究以了解高危人群中PrEP的可及性和使用率。
