SUMMIT ON HIV RESEARCH AGENDA FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS

在美国所有艾滋病毒感染的主要风险群体中， 非洲裔美国人的男女比例不成比例， 艾滋病毒感染新病例的增加。 进行的血清阳性率调查 自1987年以来，艾滋病毒感染新病例将日益增加， 集中在非洲裔美国人的特定部分， 除了目前发病率过高的负担外， mortality. 拟议中的首脑会议将试图确定艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究 与非裔美国人特别相关的问题， 重点关注艾滋病毒研究议程，以控制和治疗艾滋病， 艾滋病毒/艾滋病在这一人群中流行。 本次峰会将启动一个 顶尖艾滋病毒科学家之间的对话，目标是建立一个 非洲裔美国人艾滋病毒/艾滋病综合研究议程 未来几年。 希望通过集中艾滋病毒感染者的注意力， 研究科学家对未满足的研究问题有关的 非洲裔美国人艾滋病毒感染和艾滋病的预防和治疗 人口，可以找到控制流行病的战略。

Across all major risk groups for HIV infection in the United States, African American men and women are disproportionately represented among the rise in new cases of HIV infection. Seroprevalence surveys conducted since 1987 indicate that new cases of HIV infections will increasingly concentrate in particular segments of the African American population, adding to their current burden of excessive rates of morbidity and mortality. The proposed summit will attempt to identify HIV/AIDS research questions that are of specific relevance to African Americans as a way of focusing the HIV research agenda necessary to control and treat the HIV/AIDS epidemic in this population. This summit will initiate a dialogue among top HIV scientists with the goal of establishing a comprehensive research agenda on HIV/AIDS in African American for the coming years. It is hoped that by focusing the attention of top HIV research scientists on the unmet research questions relevant to the prevention and treatment of HIV infection and AIDS in the African American population, strategies to control the epidemic can be found.
