亚洲移民社区的宗教机构处于独特的地位，可以应对艾滋病毒流行病对其所服务的人口的挑战。然而，关于这些机构是否愿意或能够在艾滋病毒预防方面发挥作用的研究很少。本文报道了一项定性研究的结果，三个亚洲移民宗教机构在纽约市（佛教寺庙，印度教寺庙，伊斯兰教中心/清真寺），是一个更大的研究亚洲移民社区机构及其应对艾滋病毒流行的一部分。出现了几个突出的主题，形成了一个初步的理论框架的基础上，描述亚洲移民的宗教机构可能会评估他们的作用，在HFV预防。访谈数据表明，这些机构采取“保守创新”的立场，权衡其作为道德和宗教传统守护者的角色与其社区不断变化的需求，然后逐步（在不同程度上）调整其做法或立场，以保持响应性和相关性。
Religious institutions in Asian immigrant communities are in a unique position to confront the challenges of the HIV epidemic for the populations they serve. However, there has been little research on whether these institutions are willing or able to take a role in HIV prevention. This article reports on findings from a qualitative study of three Asian immigrant religious institutions in New York City (a Buddhist temple, a Hindu temple, an Islamic center/mosque) that are part of a larger study of Asian immigrant community institutions and their response to the HIV epidemic. Several prominent themes arose that formed the basis of a preliminary theoretical framework describing the way Asian immigrant religious institutions may evaluate their role in HfV prevention. The interview data indicate that the institutions take a stance of "conservative innovation," weighing their role as keepers of morality and religious tradition against the changing needs of their communities and then adjusting their practices or positions incrementally (to varying degrees) to stay responsive and relevant.
