The US South accounted for 51% of annual new HIV infections, 50% of undiagnosed infections and 45% of persons with HIV infection in 2016 while comprising 38% of the population. Myriad structural and contextual factors are associated with HIV-related disparities. This paper describes initiatives and strategies conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Health Resources and Services Administration to identify opportunities and activities addressing the disparity of HIV diagnoses in the South. Targeted HIV prevention and care efforts can change the trajectory of outcomes along the HIV care continuum and reduce HIV-related disparities in the South.
2016 年,美国南部占当年新增 HIV 感染人数的 51%,占未确诊感染人数的 50%,占 HIV 感染者人数的 45%,而南部人口仅占美国总人口的 38%。众多结构性和背景性因素与 HIV 相关的差异有关。本文介绍了美国疾病控制与预防中心和卫生资源与服务管理局为确定机会和开展活动以解决南部 HIV 诊断差异所采取的倡议和策略。有针对性的 HIV 预防和护理工作可以改变 HIV 护理连续体的结果轨迹,并减少南部的 HIV 相关差异。
