秘鲁的艾滋病毒流行主要集中在男男性行为者中。艾滋病毒干预措施专门针对狭义的男男性行为者和女性性行为人群，排除了其他可能面临更高风险的人群。针对 MSM 和 FSW 的干预措施还不够，并且有证据表明，仅将预防工作重点放在这些人群上可能会忽视不直接属于这些类别的其他人群。本文描述了低收入社区内的非传统弱势群体。这些人群是通过使用人种学和流行病学形成性研究方法来确定的，本出版物报告了结果。尽管传统的弱势群体仍然需要预防工作，但这项研究提供了以前未被识别的高风险人群的证据，这些人群也应受到艾滋病毒/性传播感染预防计划的关注。
The HIV epidemic in Peru is concentrated primarily among men who have sex with men. HIV interventions have focused exclusively on a narrowly defined group of MSM and FSW to the exclusion of other populations potentially at increased risk. Interventions targeting MSM and FSW are insufficient and there is evidence that focusing prevention efforts solely on these populations may ignore others that do not fall directly into these categories. This paper describes non-traditional, vulnerable populations within low-income neighborhoods. These populations were identified through the use of ethnographic and epidemiologic formative research methods and the results are reported in this publication. Although the traditional vulnerable groups are still in need of prevention efforts, this study provides evidence of previously unrecognized populations at increased risk that should also receive attention from HIV/STI prevention programs.
