本文探讨了造成美国艾滋病毒感染严重种族差异的因素，以及现在集中在非洲裔美国人中的流行病。性网络模式的特点是不同亚群之间的并发和混合，加上其他性传播感染的高比率，促进了艾滋病毒在非裔美国人中的传播。许多非裔美国人生活的社会和经济环境塑造了性网络模式，增加了个人感染风险，几乎与个人行为无关。非洲裔美国人的艾滋病毒流行病构成了一个国家危机，其成功的解决将需要修改社会和经济制度，结构和程序，促进艾滋病毒在这一人口中的传播。(Am J Prev Med 2009;37（5）：468-471）（C）2009年美国预防医学杂志
This article examines factors responsible for the stark racial disparities in HIV infection in the U.S. and the now concentrated epidemic among African Americans. Sexual network patterns characterized by concurrency and mixing among different subpopulations, together with high rates of other sexually transmitted infections, facilitate dissemination of HIV among African Americans. The social and economic environment in which many African Americans live shapes sexual network patterns and increases personal infection risk almost independently of personal behavior. The African-American HIV epidemic constitutes a national crisis whose successful resolution will require modifying the social and economic systems, structures, and processes that facilitate HIV transmission in this population.
