目标：在解决美国不同文化群体，特别是非洲移民社区的艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防需求方面存在重大差距。这项人类学研究考察了阻碍加州非洲移民了解艾滋病毒传播和预防教育的特定文化因素。方法：120名研究参与者(60名男性和60名女性)通过社区组织招募；33%是埃塞俄比亚和厄立特里亚移民。研究方法包括与关键信息者的焦点小组访谈、深入的个人访谈和简短的自我报告的HIV危险行为调查。本研究报告的数据仅与埃塞俄比亚和厄立特里亚移民有关。还回顾了相关研究文献和政府艾滋病毒/艾滋病统计数据。结果：移民社区成员对HIV/AIDS有一定的认知，但对自身的HIV危险行为认识不足。这些移民中报告的潜在艾滋病毒危险行为包括不使用避孕套，有多个性伴侣；饮酒；围绕艾滋病毒检测的耻辱、否认和恐惧；以及与度假者在埃塞俄比亚、厄立特里亚和美国之间来回旅行有关的危险行为。结论和建议：居住在加利福尼亚州的埃塞俄比亚和厄立特里亚移民的态度和行为与原籍国相似，他们低估了从事各种危险行为的艾滋病毒风险。如果这些移民要利用获得早期治疗的机会并防止社区进一步感染艾滋病毒，就必须消除艾滋病毒检测的各种障碍。这两个移民群体的社区领导人迫切需要提供文化上合适的场所，以便在情况恶化之前打破社区中对艾滋病毒风险的沉默。
Objectives: Significant gaps exist in addressing the HIV/AIDS prevention needs of culturally diverse populations in the United States, particularly in African immigrant communities. This anthropological research examines culturally specific factors that impede understanding of HIV transmission and prevention education among African immigrants in California. Methods: One hundred twenty study participants (60 men and 60 women) were recruited through community organizations; 33 percent were Ethiopian and Eritrean immigrants. The study methods consisted of focus group interviews with key informants, in-depth individual interviews, and a brief self-reported HIV risk behavior survey. This study reports data pertaining only to Ethiopian and Eritrean immigrants. Relevant research literature and government HIV/AIDS statistics also were reviewed. Results: Members of the immigrant community are aware of HIV/AIDS; however, they do not recognize their own HIV risk behaviors. Potential HIV risk behaviors reported among these immigrants include not using condoms, having multiple sexual partners; consuming alcohol; stigma, denial, and fear surrounding HIV testing; and risk behaviors associated with vacationers traveling back and forth between Ethiopia, Eritrea, and the United States. Conclusion and Recommendations: Ethiopian and Eritrean immigrants in California hold similar attitudes and behaviors to those found in their country of origin, and they underestimate their HIV risk from engaging in various risky behaviors. The various barriers to HIV testing must be addressed if these immigrants are to take advantage of access to early treatment and prevent further HIV infection in the community. There is an urgent need for community leaders in these two immigrant groups to provide culturally appropriate venues for breaking the silence surrounding HIV risks in the community before the situation worsens.
