居住在美国的墨西哥移徙工人是感染艾滋病毒风险很高的弱势群体。这篇文章批判性地评价发表的数据周围的艾滋病毒感染率在这一弱势群体,通过透镜的弱势群体的概念模型。该模型展示了风险暴露和资源可得性如何影响健康状况。在美国的墨西哥移民的健康状况受到一些因素的影响,这些因素增加了艾滋病毒的风险:获得医疗服务的机会有限,多个性伴侣,避孕套使用率低,男性与男性发生性关系,以及非专业注射做法。从墨西哥到美国的移民增加了墨西哥农村的艾滋病毒流行率,使这成为两国迫切关注的问题。这篇评论强调了进一步的护理研究,实践和政策的影响。(艾滋病护理护士协会杂志,22,173-185)版权所有(C)2011艾滋病护理护士协会
Mexican migrant workers residing in the United States are a vulnerable population at high risk for HIV infection. This article critically appraises the published data surrounding HIV prevalence in this vulnerable group, as seen through the lens of the Vulnerable Populations Conceptual Model. This model demonstrates how exposure to risk and resource availability affect health status. The health status of Mexican migrants in the United States is compromised by a number offactors that increase risk of HIV: limited access to health services, multiple sexual partners, low rates of condom use, men having sex with men, and lay injection practices. Migration from Mexico to the United States has increased the prevalence of HIV in rural Mexico, making this an issue of urgent binational concern. This review highlights the implications for further nursing research, practice, and policy.
