本研究描述了位于美国南部南卡罗来纳州和德克萨斯州的社区艾滋病服务组织（ASO）的非临床工作人员对HPV相关口咽癌的知识和态度/信念。它还探讨了知识和态度/信念之间的差异德克萨斯州为基础的（n=21）和南卡罗来纳州为基础的（n=30）阿索的工作人员。我们研究中的ASO通过伙伴关系和合作，为艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者或艾滋病毒/艾滋病高危人群提供全面的艾滋病毒预防、支持和护理服务。我们通过一项118项自我管理的需求评估调查，收集了2018年德克萨斯州两个ASO和2016年南卡罗来纳州三个ASO的数据。使用Stata/SE 15.1分析数据。超过一半的研究参与者是女性（59%）、黑人（78%）、异性恋（61%），平均年龄（岁）44.2 ± 12.8 SD。大多数参与者（73%）认为戒烟对健康有积极影响。但令人担忧的是，只有32%的人知道HPV是口咽癌的危险因素，超过一半（53%）的人不确定HPV疫苗是否能成功预防口咽癌。此外，在得克萨斯州和南卡罗来纳州的ASO之间，在口咽癌相关知识和态度/信念方面没有观察到统计学显著差异。阿索工作人员与艾滋病毒感染者（PLWH）密切合作，他们不成比例地受到HPV相关癌症的影响。关于HPV在引起口咽癌中的作用的低/差的知识和态度/信念表明需要为社区卫生工作者提供适当的教育/培训，以提高他们关于HPV在引起各种形式的癌症中的作用的知识和态度/信念。
This study describes knowledge and attitude/beliefs about HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer among non-clinical staff, at community-based HIV/AIDS Service Organizations (ASOs) located in the Southern U.S. states of South Carolina and Texas. It also explores the difference in knowledge and attitude/beliefs between Texas-based (n=21) and South Carolina-based (n=30) ASO staff. The ASOs in our study provide comprehensive HIV prevention, supportive, and care services to individuals living with HIV/AIDS or at-risk for HIV/AIDS, through partnerships and collaborations. We collected data from the two Texas-based ASOs in 2018, and the three South Carolina-based ASOs in 2016, via a 118-item, self-administered needs assessment survey. Data were analyzed using Stata/SE 15.1. Over half the study participants were females (59%), black (78%), heterosexual (61%), mean age (years) 44.2 ± 12.8 SD. Most participants (73%) believed that quitting smoking positively impacts health. Alarmingly though, only 32% were aware about HPV as a risk factor for oropharyngeal cancer, and over half (53%) were unsure about the success of the HPV vaccine in preventing oropharyngeal cancer. In addition, there were no statistically significant differences observed in the oropharyngeal cancer-related knowledge and attitudes/beliefs, between ASOs in Texas and South Carolina. ASO staff work closely with People living with HIV (PLWH), who are disproportionately affected by HPV-associated cancers. The low/poor knowledge and attitudes/beliefs regarding the role of HPV in causing oropharyngeal cancer ascertains the need for equipping community health workers with adequate education/training, that improves their knowledge and attitudes/beliefs about the role of HPV in causing various forms of cancer.
