HIV affects African American gay and bisexual men (AAGBM) more disproportionately than any other group in the USA. The Black Church, which has been a historic mainstay for African American empowerment and well-being, has the potential to be a public health partner for HIV prevention with AAGBM. Public health partnerships with the Black Church can strengthen HIV prevention efforts with AAGBM by [1] adapting church-based prevention strategies developed for other African American subgroups [2], providing prevention and referral services [3], considering how scripture supports prevention efforts, and [4] emphasizing the tenets of liberation theology. Public health should consider how thoughtful engagement, research, and interventions can support these approaches. Developing partnerships with the Black Church and African American clergy can promote effective HIV prevention efforts for AAGBM.
在美国,与其他任何群体相比,艾滋病毒对非裔美国男同性恋者和双性恋者(AAGBM)的影响更为不成比例。黑人教会一直是增强非裔美国人权能和福祉的历史性支柱,有潜力成为与AAGBM合作进行艾滋病毒预防的公共卫生伙伴。与黑人教会建立公共卫生伙伴关系,可以通过以下方式加强针对AAGBM的艾滋病毒预防工作:[1] 调整为其他非裔美国亚群体制定的基于教会的预防策略;[2] 提供预防和转诊服务;[3] 考虑经文如何支持预防工作;以及 [4] 强调解放神学的教义。公共卫生部门应考虑深思熟虑的参与、研究和干预措施如何能够支持这些方法。与黑人教会和非裔美国神职人员建立伙伴关系,可以促进针对AAGBM的有效艾滋病毒预防工作。
