尽管艾滋病毒的发病率很高，而且迅速增长，但人们对艾滋病毒阳性的黑人男性同性恋者的日常生活经历知之甚少。由于艾滋病毒抗体阳性者继续生活在一个充满希望、恐惧、等待和疑惑的世界中，对这一群体的成员缺乏经验知识尤其成问题，这可能严重影响他们的日常生活。在这项探索性研究中，我们研究了艾滋病毒阳性的黑人同性恋，双性恋和其他与男性发生性关系的男性的日常生活，特别是作为一个少数民族如何影响他们与疾病一起生活的方式。我们的目标是提供一个论坛，使黑人男子能够分享他们在艾滋病毒感染者生活的各个方面的个人经验。在这样做的时候，我们确定了五个主题，这些主题可能是黑人男性独有的，或者是由于黑人男性在美国的少数民族地位而引起的不同体验。
Despite high and rapidly growing incidence of HIV, little is known about the everyday lived experiences of HIV-positive black men who have sex with men. Lack of empirical knowledge about members of this group is especially problematic as HIV-positive individuals continue to live in a world of hope, fear, waiting and wondering, which can heavily influence their everyday lives. In this exploratory study, we examine the everyday lives of HIV-positive black gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men, particularly how being a racial minority may influence the ways that they manage living with the illness. Our goal was to provide a forum from which black men could share their personal experiences regarding the various aspects of living with HIV. In doing so, we identified five themes that may be unique to black men or experienced differently by black men due, in the USA, to their racial minority status.
