由于 20 世纪 90 年代中期引入高效抗逆转录病毒治疗 (HAART)，艾滋病毒从急性疾病转变为慢性疾病，这增加了成功管理的重要性，并对艾滋病毒阳性者及其支持网络进行了重大的生活方式调整。很少有研究探讨了艾滋病毒阳性拉丁裔和非裔美国人的社会支持的来源和类型以及与参与艾滋病毒治疗相关的护理领域。本文报告了对艾滋病毒呈阳性的非裔美国人和拉丁裔男女发生性行为的 24 名半结构化深度访谈的结果。研究发现，正式网络对于参与针对艾滋病毒的医疗护理更为重要；具体而言，研究参与者主要依靠医疗保健提供者的支持来获得和维持特定疾病的护理。相比之下，非正式网络（以家人和朋友的形式）对于其他一般的生存护理至关重要，例如情感、家庭相关和经济支持。
The change in HIV from acute to chronic disease due to the introduction of HAART in the mid-1990s increased the importance of its successful management and imposed substantial lifestyle adjustments on HIV-positive persons and their support networks. Few studies have examined the sources and types of social support and the areas of care relevant for engagement in HIV treatment among HIV-positive Latinos and African Americans. This paper reports the results of twenty-four semi-structured in-depth interviews that were conducted with HIV-positive African American and Latino women and men who have sex with men. Formal networks were found to be more critical for engagement in HIV-specific medical care; specifically, study participants relied primarily on health care providers for support in accessing and maintaining illness-specific care. In contrast, informal networks (in the form of family and friends) were crucial for other general subsistence care, such as emotional, household-related, and financial support.
