种族/族裔歧视和艾滋病毒/艾滋病阴谋论信仰可能导致保健服务的使用和满意度存在差异。以前的研究考察了日常歧视(EOD)、医疗保健歧视(HCD)和艾滋病毒/艾滋病阴谋论(HCB)的种族/民族经历，主要关注非洲裔美国人，很少有研究关注拉美裔美国人。这项研究使用了来自加利福尼亚州东洛杉矶的450名拉丁裔、黑人和白人年轻人的面对面结构化访谈数据。多变量模型对所有人口统计变量进行了调整，调查了种族/族裔和性别是否与EOD和HCD以及是否支持六氯联苯有关，以及种族/族裔和歧视与六氯联苯之间的联系是否因性别而异。与白人相比，黑人和拉丁裔报告了更多几乎所有形式的EOD和HCD经历，并支持更多的艾滋病毒/艾滋病阴谋论信念。此外，黑人和拉丁裔男性报告的排泄物感觉比他们的女性同龄人更强烈。与他们的同龄人相比，黑人、拉丁裔和有孩子的参与者更多地报告了HCD的经历和对HCB信仰的认可。这项研究有助于加深对不同种族/族裔群体如何在不同环境和日常活动中遭受歧视以及他们对艾滋病毒/艾滋病阴谋论信仰的认可的理解。公共卫生领域必须解决类似于任何其他有毒病原体的种族主义和歧视问题。通过这样做，公共卫生变得积极主动，努力减轻种族歧视对人口健康的影响。
Racial/ethnic discrimination and HIV/AIDS conspiracy beliefs may contribute to disparities in use and satisfaction with healthcare services. Previous studies that examined racial/ethnic experiences of everyday discrimination (EOD), health care discrimination (HCD), and HIV/AIDS conspiracy beliefs (HCB) focused primarily on African Americans with few studies focusing on Latinos. This study used data from in-person structured interviews with 450 Latino, Black, and White young adults from East Los Angeles, California. Multivariable models, adjusting for all demographic covariates, investigated if race/ethnicity and gender were associated with EOD and HCD and endorsing HCB, and if the associations between race/ethnicity and discriminations and HCB varied by gender. Blacks and Latinos reported more experiences of EOD and HCD in almost all forms and endorsed more HIV/AIDS conspiracy beliefs compared to Whites. Additionally, Black and Latino men reported stronger feelings of EOD than their female counterparts. More reports of experiences of HCD and endorsement of HCB beliefs were found for Blacks, Latinos, and participants with children compared to their counterparts. This study contributes to a growing understanding of how different racial/ethnic groups experience discrimination across various settings and everyday activities and their endorsement of HIV/AIDS conspiracy beliefs. The field of Public Health must address the problems of racism and discrimination similar to any other toxic pathogen. In so doing, Public Health becomes proactive in its efforts to mitigate the effects of racial discriminations on population health.
