尽管迄今为止,获得性免疫机能丧失综合症(艾滋病)的大多数病例发生在男子中,但艾滋病对黑人和拉丁美洲妇女构成严重威胁,特别是对那些生活在艾滋病发病率较高地区的贫困妇女。然而,许多人可能并不认为自己处于被普遍描述为”白色同性恋疾病“的风险之中。“这篇文章探讨了妇女艾滋病感染的模式以及与风险认知和行为改变相关的因素。在这样做的时候,少数民族文化对个别妇女的行为的影响进行了探讨。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2024阿帕,保留所有权利)
Although to date most cases of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) have occurred among men, AIDS poses a serious threat for Black and Latina women, particularly for those who are poor and live in geographic areas of higher AIDS incidence. Yet many may not perceive themselves to be at risk from what has generally been portrayed as a" White gay disease." This article examines patterns of AIDS infection in women and factors associated with risk perception and behavior change. In doing so, the influence of ethnic minority culture on the behavior of individual women is explored.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
