美国早期艾滋病流行的社会背景为传播谣言提供了肥沃的土壤。然而，今天，关于艾滋病毒/艾滋病的谣言只存在于非裔美国人的公众中。焦点小组和公众话语数据揭示了艾滋病起源和阴谋谣言的内容和分布。谣言和当代传说理论允许将谣言重新解释为非裔美国人公众和卫生专业人员之间信任的衡量标准，而不是无知或历史种族压迫的证据。为了改善非裔美国人社区的公共卫生结果，艾滋病毒/艾滋病工作必须承认谣言的来源和含义，将谣言作为信任的衡量标准，并解决谣言所表示的潜在不信任。
The social context of the early HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States provided fertile ground for rumors about transmission. Today, however, rumors about HIV/AIDS persist only within the African American public. Focus group and public discourse data reveal the content and distribution of HIV/AIDS origin and conspiracy rumors. Rumor and contemporary legend theory allows reinterpretation of rumors as a measure of trust between the African American public and health professionals, not as evidence of ignorance or of historical racial oppression. To improve public health results in the African American community, HIV/AIDS efforts must acknowledge the sources and meanings of rumors, include rumors as a measure of trust, and address the underlying distrust that the rumors signify.
