来自美国南方腹地一个城市的社区成员确定了艾滋病毒种族差异的根本原因，包括耻辱。本会议报告介绍了我们如何制定和实施一系列会议，以解决艾滋病毒的耻辱。我们利用社区反馈和双向学习举办了两次会议，以纪念全国艾滋病毒检测日（2021年6月）和全国南方艾滋病毒/艾滋病宣传日（2021年8月）。我们成立了一个由10名成员组成的组织委员会，每月举行一次会议，计划在全国黑人艾滋病意识日（2022年2月）的荣誉信仰峰会。经验教训包括：（a）不同社区参与战略的有效性，包括参与性评价方法;（B）保持参与和增加参与的战略，例如依靠个人和专业网络，并促使社区了解即将采取的干预措施。要持续举行一系列会议以消除艾滋病毒污名化，就需要作出承诺和包容各方的参与。这一合作项目提供了更多的证据，表明信仰社区可以成为结束艾滋病毒流行和相关健康差距的解决方案的一部分。
Community members from a city in the U.S. Deep South identified root causes of HIV racial disparities, including stigma. This meeting report describes how we developed and implemented a conference series to address HIV stigma. We used community feedback and bidirectional learning to host two meetings in observance of National HIV Testing Day (June 2021) and National Southern HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (August 2021). We established a 10-member organizing committee workgroup that met monthly to plan the Faith Summit in honor of National Black HIV Awareness Day (February 2022). Lessons learned include (a) the effectiveness of different community engagement strategies, including participatory evaluative approaches, and (b) strategies to maintain engagement and increase participation, such as reliance on personal and professional networks and prompting the community about forthcoming interventions. Sustaining a conference series to end HIV stigma requires commitment and inclusive participation. This collaborative project offers additional evidence that faith communities can be a part of the solution to ending the HIV epidemic and related health disparities.
