目标。我们测量了纽约市室内舞会社区人群的艾滋病毒血清流行率和相关风险因素。方法。 2004年，我们在室内球社区进行了基于场地的风险行为调查和艾滋病毒检测。结果。在 504 名研究参与者中，67% 为男性，14% 为女性，18% 为变性人。平均年龄为 24 岁（范围 = 15-52 岁）； 56% 是黑人，40% 是拉丁裔。超过 85% 的参与者之前接受过 HIV 检测，但只有 60% 的参与者在过去 12 个月内接受过检测。在我们的研究中，84 名 HIV 检测呈阳性的人 (17%) 中，61 人 (73%) 不知道自己的 HIV 状况。对过去 12 个月内有过男性性伴侣的 371 名参与者的数据进行逻辑回归分析，结果显示，与 HIV 阴性参与者相比，感染 HIV 的参与者更有可能是黑人，年龄超过 29 岁，并且在过去 12 个月内未接受过 HIV 检测。结论。有必要采取针对文化的社区一级预防工作，以减少危险行为并增加纽约市家庭舞会社区的艾滋病毒检测频率。
Objectives. We measured HIV seroprevalence and associated risk factors among persons in New York City's house ball community.Methods. In 2004 we conducted a venue-based risk-behavior survey and HIV testing in the house ball community.Results. Of the 504 study participants, 67% were male, 14% female, and 18% transgender. Mean age was 24 years (range= 15-52 years); 56% were Black, and 40% were Latino. More than 85% of participants had previously been tested for HIV, although only 60% had been tested in the previous 12 months. Of the 84 (17%) persons who tested positive for HIV in our study, 61 (73%) were unaware of their HIV status. A logistic regression analysis on data from 371 participants who had had a male sexual partner in the previous 12 months showed that HIV-infected participants were more likely than were HIV-negative participants to be Black, to be older than 29 years, and not to have been tested for HIV in the previous 12 months.Conclusions. Culturally specific community-level prevention efforts are warranted to reduce risk behaviors and increase the frequency of HIV testing in New York City's house ball community.
