最近发表在《发病率和死亡率周报》（MMWR）上的分析报告显示，在美国所有种族群体中，亚洲人和太平洋岛民（APIs）是最近四年中唯一在艾滋病毒/艾滋病诊断率上有统计学显著增长的群体。然而，在报道这一信息的MMWR问题的讨论或编辑注释中没有注意到这一事实。由于API社区的艾滋病毒感染率仍然相对较低，我们有一个关键的机会，在这些令人担忧的指标转化为美国API社区明显更高的艾滋病毒流行率之前，为API美国社区制定有效的预防计划，就像美国其他社区和亚太地区发生的那样。
Recent analyses reported in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) show that among all racial groups in the U.S., Asians and Pacific Islanders (APIs) had the only statistically significant increases in HIV/AIDS diagnosis rates in the most recent four-year period. Yet this fact is not noted in the discussion or editorial notes in the MMWR issue where this information is reported. Because HIV rates in API communities are still relatively low, we have a critical opportunity to develop effective prevention programs for API American communities before these alarming indicators translate into markedly higher HIV prevalence in API communities in the U.S., as has occurred in other U.S. communities and in the Asia/Pacific region.
