最近，美国男男性行为者(BMSM)的黑人男性中艾滋病毒感染率不断上升。因此，在这一人群中推广艾滋病毒检测现在被认为是地方和联邦卫生官员的优先事项。一项研究探讨了纽约市BMSM对艾滋病毒检测的担忧。2006年初，从29名BMSM的焦点小组收集了数据。讨论揭示了影响艾滋病毒检测的因素，包括耻辱、性、宗教、种族和阶级，强调责任、检测问题和媒体影响等。建议提交给纽约市卫生官员，为艾滋病毒检测和预防工作提供信息。
Rising HIV infection rates have been recently occurring among Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) in the United States. As a result, promoting HIV testing among members of this population is now considered a priority among local and federal health officials. A study was conducted to explore concerns about HIV testing among BMSM in New York City. In early 2006, data were gathered from focus groups with 29 BMSM. Discussions revealed factors affecting HIV testing, including stigma, sexuality, religion, race, and class, emphasizing responsibility, testing concerns, and media influences, among others. Recommendations were submitted to New York City health officials to inform HIV testing and prevention efforts.
