Persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) report very high prevalences of cigarette smoking, and there are racial/ethnic disparities in smoking consequences and quit outcomes. In this exploratory pilot study, we examined racial/ethnic differences in perceived risks and benefits of quitting cigarette smoking among 97 adult PLWH in the Bronx, New York (Hispanic, 53.6%; African American, 46.4%). Compared to African American PLWH, Hispanic PLWH reported greater endorsement of overall risks and benefits and risks of negative affect, difficulty concentrating, social ostracism, loss of enjoyment, and cravings. It may be useful to incorporate risks and benefits of quitting into smoking treatment for African American and Hispanic PLWH.
艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者（PLWH）报告称，他们吸烟的比例非常高，而且在吸烟后果和戒烟效果方面存在种族/民族差异。在这项探索性试点研究中，我们调查了 97 名居住在纽约布朗克斯的成年 PLWH 对戒烟的感知风险和益处的种族/民族差异（西班牙裔，53.6%；非裔美国人，46.4%）。与非裔美国 PLWH 相比，西班牙裔 PLWH 报告称，他们更认可戒烟的总体风险和益处，以及戒烟带来的负面影响、注意力不集中、社交排斥、失去享受、渴望等风险。对于非裔美国人和西班牙裔 PLWH，将戒烟的风险和益处纳入吸烟治疗可能会有所帮助。
