本导言介绍了《全球公共卫生》的一个特刊，其中收集了关于加勒比地区艾滋病毒/艾滋病的多学科观点的文章。自20世纪90年代以来，贫困、边缘化和社会耻辱一直是该地区艾滋病毒/艾滋病社会科学研究的重点。这三个相互关联的现象被认为是造成该地区病例高发的原因。这一特刊的撰稿人将这些重点放在新的方向上，提出多层次的问题，这些问题需要流行病学、社会科学、理论和政策导向的观点和方法的独特组合。它们共同确定了几个专题领域，旨在建立跨学科和辩证法的对话，基本原则是与艾滋病毒/艾滋病有关的因素是广泛的，需要交叉的镜头。本期文章提供了对该地区艾滋病毒/艾滋病的多层次干预措施，从形成高风险因素的各种社会环境到患者依从性方案，重点是结构、社会和政策层面的方法。总的来说，这一特刊确立了对艾滋病毒/艾滋病采取跨学科方法的重要性，这些方法在宏观层面上具有重要意义，但同时也关注大规模动态如何在特定背景和历史中发生变化。
This introduction presents a special issue ofGlobal Public Healthwith a collection of articles that offer multidisciplinary perspectives on HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean. Since the 1990s, poverty, marginalisation, and social stigma have been strong foci of much social science research on HIV/AIDS in the region. These three interrelated phenomena have been offered as explanatory factors contributing to the high prevalence of cases observed in this region. Contributors to this special issue take these emphases in new directions, asking multi-level questions that require unique combinations of epidemiological, social scientific, theoretical, and policy-oriented perspectives and methodologies. Together, they identify several topical areas that intend to create dialogue across disciplines and dialectics, with the fundamental principle that the factors relevant to HIV/AIDS are broad and require intersectional lenses. The articles in this issue offer multi-level interventions into HIV/AIDS in the region, from the varied social circumstances that shape heightened risk factors to patient adherence programmes, with emphases on structural, social, and policy-level approaches. Collectively, this special issue establishes the importance of transdisciplinary approaches to HIV/AIDS that are macro-level in scope, but simultaneously attend to how large-scale dynamics are inflected in situated contexts and histories.
