Abstract

Background: Long-term survivors of HIV in Miami, Florida are facing critical health and social issues as they age with this disease.

Methods: Using PhotoVoice methodology, nine Latino/a activist-artists were recruited to take pictures depicting their everyday life-challenges to be used in several photography exhibits aimed at informing local policy direction.

Results: The group identified a positive approach to aging with HIV as a priority at the individual, community and policy level, emphasizing policy alternatives to the negative and disease-ridden stereotypes that embed current discussions on living and aging with HIV. The activists highlight specific community and policy solutions that respond to the growing needs of long-term survivors of HIV/AIDS among Latino communities in South Florida.

Conclusions: The findings suggest that Miami (and areas with a large HIV-positive population) may benefit from community and policy solutions that take a successful aging approach and build upon the resiliency of this population.

与艾滋病毒一起衰老和茁壮成长:佛罗里达州迈阿密的长期艾滋病毒幸存者的摄影声音项目。

背景:在佛罗里达州迈阿密，艾滋病病毒的长期幸存者随着年龄的增长而面临着严重的健康和社会问题。方法:采用PhotoVoice方法，招募了9名拉丁裔活动家艺术家拍摄他们日常生活中的照片，这些照片将用于几个旨在为当地政策方向提供信息的摄影展览。结果:该小组确定了在个人、社区和政策层面上对艾滋病毒感染者老龄化采取积极措施的优先事项，强调了在当前关于艾滋病毒感染者生活和老龄化的讨论中存在的消极和疾病缠身的陈规定型观念的政策选择。活动人士强调了具体的社区和政策解决方案，以回应南佛罗里达州拉丁裔社区中艾滋病毒/艾滋病长期幸存者日益增长的需求。结论:研究结果表明，迈阿密(以及有大量艾滋病毒阳性人口的地区)可能受益于采用成功的老龄化方法并建立在这一人口弹性基础上的社区和政策解决方案。
