目标：我们调查了当考虑到他们的社区和他们自己的健康和健康时，艾滋病毒话语是如何在年轻的男性双灵领袖的生活中被协商和赋予意义的。这些人也是独一无二的，因为他们一直生活在艾滋病毒的幽灵和占主导地位的话语之下；也就是说，他们是自艾滋病毒/艾滋病时代以来的第二代人。方法：我们对荣誉项目的六个定性访谈进行了话语分析，荣誉项目是一个多地点、混合方法的研究项目，主要研究美国两种精神群体，突出创伤、应对和健康之间的关系。结果：HIV在四个方面发挥作用：作为影子存在、职业化身份、健康次级/优先事项以及归属感和(重新)认领的载体。结论：这项研究对社会工作以及艾滋病毒预防和护理都很重要，因为它为两种精神的人提供了声音，他们是一个高度边缘化的社区，经常在科学话语中保持沉默。而且，它集中了语言和背景，使艾滋病毒/艾滋病、风险和历史上遭受创伤的人群的社会流行病学特征复杂化。
Objectives: We investigated how HIV discourse is negotiated and given meaning in the lives of young, male two-spirit leaders, when considering their communities' and their own health and wellness. These men are also unique in that they have always lived under the specter and dominant discourse of HIV; that is, they are part of a second generation since the time of HIV/AIDS. Methods: We conducted a discourse analysis of six qualitative interviews from the HONOR Project, a multi-site, mixed-methods study of the two-spirit community across the United States, foregrounding the relationships among trauma, coping, and health. Results: HIV functions discursively in four ways: as a shadow presence, professionalized identity, health sub-/priority, and vehicle for belonging and (re) claiming. Conclusions: This study is important to social work as well as HIV prevention and care as it affords voice to two-spirit men, a highly marginalized community and one often silenced in scientific discourse. And, it centralizes language and context, complicating social epidemiological characterizations of HIV/AIDS, risk, and historically traumatized populations.
