随着社区努力科普2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的健康和社会后果，感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病或受其影响的性和性别少数男性对如何科普不确定性、公共卫生协议和悲伤有着重要的见解。我们于2020年4月18日至24日使用在线网络应用程序招募了性和性别少数男性，以招募纵向队列。我们使用内容分析法分析了来自开放式答复的基线定性数据，以研究艾滋病毒/艾滋病疫情如何帮助性少数男性应对当前的COVID-19大流行。在完成调查的437名参与者中，155人（35%）表示艾滋病毒/艾滋病帮助他们科普了COVID-19。来自135名参与者的自由回答数据围绕着四个主题：（1）经历大流行病的经历，（2）应对耻辱的经历，（3）熟悉公共卫生协议，（4）相信集体行动。根据这些人的经验，以复原力和集体行动为中心的公共卫生方法可能特别有助于应对和应对COVID-19--特别是如果大流行持续较长时间的话。
As communities struggle with how to cope with the health and social consequences of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), sexual and gender minority men living with or affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic have important insights into how to cope with uncertainty, public health protocols, and grief. We recruited sexual and gender minority men using online networking apps from April 18-24, 2020 to enroll a longitudinal cohort. We analyzed baseline qualitative data from open-ended responses using content analysis to examine how the HIV/AIDS epidemic has helped sexual minority men with the current COVID-19 pandemic. Of the 437 participants who completed the survey, 155 (35%) indicated that HIV/AIDS had helped them cope with COVID-19. Free-response data from those 135 of those participants clustered around four themes: (1) experience having lived through a pandemic, (2) experience coping with stigma, (3) familiarity with public health protocols, and (4) belief in collective action. Based on the experiences of these men, public health approaches centered on resilience and collective action could be particularly helpful in responding and coping with COVID-19-especially if the pandemic persists over longer periods of time.
