目的：超过100万美国人感染了人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV），只有不到一半的美国人接受过HIV检测。目前还没有针对美国穆斯林的全国性艾滋病毒检测估计数，这是一个服务不足且经常被污名化的人群。考虑到缺乏对这一人群的艾滋病毒检测估计，我们对来自美国各地的美国穆斯林妇女进行了一项关于艾滋病毒检测和潜在同伙的探索性研究。方法：我们应用逻辑回归模型来检查2015年收集的穆斯林妇女健康项目数据（N=218）。结果：医疗保健参与和亲密伴侣暴力与接受艾滋病毒检测显著相关。使用避孕药的受访者接受了流感疫苗接种，并接受了异常的巴氏试验，接受艾滋病毒检测的几率高出两倍以上（比值比[OR]=2.56，OR=2.43，OR=2.93，分别为; p<0.05）。性虐待与接受艾滋病毒检测的几率高出两倍以上相关（OR=2.49; p<0.05）。结论：受访者报告艾滋病毒检测率高于一般公众，表明艾滋病毒知识，参与预防性卫生保健，并可能存在艾滋病毒风险。学者和从业人员不应假设穆斯林患者感染艾滋病毒的风险较低，也不应从事艾滋病毒风险行为。因此，关于穆斯林妇女愿意接受艾滋病毒检测的假设应进一步审查，以阐明这一人口中的艾滋病毒风险。
Purpose: More than one million Americans are living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and less than half of Americans have ever accepted an HIV test. There are no national HIV testing estimates for Muslim Americans, an underserved and often stigmatized population. Considering the lack of HIV testing estimates for this population, we conducted an exploratory study on HIV testing and potential associates in American Muslim women from across the United States. Methods: We applied logistic regression models to examine the Muslim Women's Health Project data, collected in 2015 (N=218). Results: Health care engagement and intimate partner violence were significantly associated with having been tested for HIV. Respondents using contraceptives received an influenza vaccination, and received an abnormal pap test had more than two times higher odds of having been tested for HIV (odds ratio [OR]=2.56, OR=2.43, OR=2.93, respectively; p<0.05 all). Having been sexually abused was associated with more than two times higher odds of having been tested for HIV (OR=2.49; p<0.05). Conclusion: Respondents reported higher rates of HIV testing as compared with the general public, signaling HIV knowledge, engagement in preventative health care, and possibly HIV risk. Scholars and practitioners should not assume that Muslim patients are at low risk for HIV and do not engage in HIV-risk behaviors. Thus, assumptions about Muslims women's willingness to accept HIV testing should be further examined to elucidate HIV risk among this population.
