由于改进的医疗手段延长了艾滋病毒感染者的生命，预防项目越来越多地关注这些人采取和维持降低艾滋病毒风险行为的能力。很少有人知道哪些hiv血清阳性的人最有可能使用预防方案，或者哪些方案主题最能满足这一人群的需求。一组hiv血清阳性的男男性行为者（MSM, N = 206）对他们对各种关于身体和精神健康问题的节目主题的兴趣进行了评分。大多数男男性行为者对艾滋病毒预防的特定主题感兴趣，但兴趣水平普遍低于其他主题。与白人男男性接触者相比，非洲裔美国男男性接触者对安全性行为和血清状态披露项目的总体兴趣更高。更高的积极应对与更广泛的hiv血清阳性男性项目主题的兴趣相关，涉及安全性行为的项目，以及涉及血清状态披露的项目。风险行为与项目利益无关。更好地了解艾滋病毒感染者对各种项目主题的兴趣是加强艾滋病毒传播预防项目的重要一步。
As improved medical treatments have extended the lives of persons with HIV, prevention programs increasingly address these persons' ability to adopt and sustain HIV risk reduction behavior. Little is known about which HIV-seropositive persons would most likely use prevention programs or what program topics would best meet the needs of this population. A diverse sample of HIV-seropositive men who have sex with men (MSM, N = 206) rated their interest in a variety of program topics addressing physical and mental health issues. Topics specific to HIV prevention were of interest to most MSM, but the level of interest was generally lower than for other topics. Compared with White MSM, African American MSM had higher overall interest in programs addressing safer sex and programs addressing serostatus disclosure. Higher active coping was related to more interest in a broad range of program topics for HIV-seropositive men, programs addressing safer sex, and programs addressing serostatus disclosure. Risk behavior was not associated with program interests. Gaining a better understanding of interest in a variety of program topics among persons living with HIV is an important step in enhancing HIV transmission prevention programs.
