美国的拉丁美洲人受到艾滋病毒和性传播疾病交叉流行的不成比例的影响。本研究采用以社区为基础的参与性研究方法来识别问题，目的是探讨北卡罗莱纳州感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的拉丁裔移民男性艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险和服务使用的社会文化决定因素。与利益相关者（n = 8）和拉丁裔艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者（n = 10）进行了深入的关键信息提供者访谈。拉丁裔男性艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者的主要主题是对艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防和治疗的误解，社区内对艾滋病毒感染者的歧视，以及害怕发现他们的无证身份。需要进一步研究，以减少感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的拉丁裔男子感染艾滋病毒的风险，并改善他们获得医疗服务的机会。
Latinos in the United States have been disproportionately affected by the intersecting epidemics of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases. Using a community-based participatory research approach to problem identification, the objective of this study is to explore sociocultural determinants of HIV/AIDS risk and service use among immigrant Latino men living with HIV/AIDS in North Carolina. In-depth key-informant inter-views with stakeholders (n = 8) and Latino men living with HIV/AIDS (n = 10) were conducted. Major themes identified among Latino men living with HIV/AIDS are misconceptions about HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, intracommunity discrimination against individuals living with HIV, and feared discovery of their undocumented status. Further research is needed to reduce HIV risk and improve access to medical services among Latino men living with HIV/AIDS.
