African immigrants are disproportionately affected by HIV compared to U.S.-born individuals, and early HIV testing is the key challenge in ending the HIV epidemic in these communities. HIV-related stigma appears to be the most significant barrier to testing for HIV among African communities in King County, WA. In this formative study, we conducted thirty key informant interviews and five focus group discussions (n = total 72 participants) with Ethiopian, Somali, and Eritrean people living with HIV, health professionals, religious and other community leaders, and lay community members in King County to better understand HIV-related and intersectional stigmas’ impact on HIV testing behaviors. We used inductive coding and thematic analysis. Participants from all communities reported similar themes for HIV-related and intersectional stigmas’ influences on HIV testing behaviors. Misconceptions or poor messaging, e.g., regarding treatability of HIV, as well as normative or religious/moral beliefs around pre/extramarital sex contributed to HIV-related stigma. Intersecting identities such as immigrant status, race/ethnicity, and having a non-English language preference, all intermingle to further influence access to the U.S. healthcare system, including for HIV testing. These findings can be used to inform future research on community-led approaches to addressing early HIV testing amongst African immigrant communities.

哈兰比!2.0:HIV 相关和交叉污名化对华盛顿州西雅图市非洲移民社区 HIV 检测行为的影响

与美国出生的人相比,非洲移民受 HIV 影响的比例更高,早期 HIV 检测是结束这些社区 HIV 流行的关键挑战。与 HIV 相关的污名化似乎是华盛顿州金县非洲社区进行 HIV 检测的最大障碍。在这项形成性研究中,我们与埃塞俄比亚、索马里和厄立特里亚的艾滋病病毒感染者、卫生专业人员、宗教和其他社区领袖以及国王的非专业社区成员进行了 30 次关键线人访谈和 5 次焦点小组讨论(n = 总共 72 名参与者)县更好地了解 HIV 相关和交叉耻辱对 HIV 检测行为的影响。我们使用归纳编码和主题分析。来自所有社区的参与者都报告了与 HIV 相关和交叉污名对 HIV 检测行为的影响的相似主题。误解或信息传递不当,例如关于 HIV 的可治疗性,以及围绕婚前/婚外性行为的规范或宗教/道德信仰导致了与 HIV 相关的污名化。移民身份、种族/族裔以及非英语语言偏好等交叉身份相互交织,进一步影响美国医疗保健系统的使用,包括 HIV 检测。这些发现可用于为未来关于解决非洲移民社区早期 HIV 检测问题的社区主导方法的研究提供信息。以及围绕婚前性行为/婚外性行为的规范或宗教/道德信仰助长了与 HIV 相关的耻辱感。移民身份、种族/族裔以及非英语语言偏好等交叉身份相互交织,进一步影响美国医疗保健系统的使用,包括 HIV 检测。这些发现可用于为未来关于解决非洲移民社区早期 HIV 检测问题的社区主导方法的研究提供信息。以及围绕婚前性行为/婚外性行为的规范或宗教/道德信仰助长了与 HIV 相关的耻辱感。移民身份、种族/族裔以及非英语语言偏好等交叉身份相互交织,进一步影响美国医疗保健系统的使用,包括 HIV 检测。这些发现可用于为未来关于解决非洲移民社区早期 HIV 检测问题的社区主导方法的研究提供信息。
