Introduction
Introduccin
The HIV Prevention Bilingual Glossary (HPBG)

is a collaborative effort to provide linguistic
support to individuals and organizations working
with Spanish-speaking populations in the U.S.
El Glosario bilinge de prevencin del VIH

(GBPV) es un trabajo conjunto que tiene como
objetivo dar apoyo lingstico a las personas y
organizaciones que trabajan con poblaciones de
habla hispana en los EE.UU.
Partners for the development of this glossary

include the Office of Minority Health Resource
Center (OMHRC) under the Office of Minority
Health (OMH) at the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS), the Center for
AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS) at the
University of California, San Francisco (UCSF),
CDC Multilingual Services [from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)], as well
as HIV/AIDS professionals and expert
translators.
Language barriers in the U.S. are often
perceived from one perspective, that consumers
lack the necessary English language skills to
properly access services. Yet, access issues are
not exclusive to individuals or communities; they
are also structural, systemic barriers within the
health system. The development of the HPBG
responds to Recommendations on National
Standards for Culturally and Linguistically
Appropriate Services (CLAS), Standard No. 7 on
Language Access Services: to develop national
standards or guidelines for the translation of
health-related materials. 1 This material is also
a response to the disproportionate number of
Latinos / Hispanics living with AIDS in the U.S.
(19%), who constitute the racial/ethnic
population with the second highest rate of
HIV/AIDS cases (27.8 per 100,000). 2

HIV Prevention Bilingual Glossary 2009
Para la elaboracin de este glosario se cont

con el apoyo y colaboracin de las siguientes
organizaciones: el Centro de Informacin de la
Oficina de Salud de las Minoras (OMHRC, por
sus siglas en ingls) bajo la Oficina de Salud de
las Minoras (OMH, por sus siglas en ingls) del
Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos
(HHS, por sus siglas en ingls), el Centro para
Estudios de Prevencin del SIDA (CAPS, por
sus siglas en ingls) en la Universidad de
California en San Francisco, CDC Multilingual
Services (de los Centros para el Control y la
Prevencin de Enfermedades), as como de
profesionales especializados en el campo del
VIH/SIDA y traductores expertos.
Las barreras lingsticas en los EE.UU. se
perciben a menudo a partir de una perspectiva:
los consumidores carecen de los conocimientos
necesarios del idioma ingls para acceder a los
servicios que se ofrecen. Sin embargo, las
dificultades de acceso no son exclusivas de
ciertas personas o comunidades; son tambin
barreras estructurales y sistmicas dentro del
propio sistema de salud. La preparacin de este
material responde a las Recomendaciones de
las normas nacionales para los servicios cultural
y lingsticamente apropiados (CLAS, por sus
siglas en ingls), formuladas en la Norma No.7
sobre servicios en lenguaje accesible:
establecer normas o pautas nacionales para la
traduccin de materiales relativos a la salud. 1
Este material es tambin una respuesta al
nmero desproporcionado de latinos / hispanos
que viven con el SIDA en los EE.UU. (el 19%),
quienes representan la poblacin racial/tnica
con el segundo ndice ms alto de casos de VIH
/ SIDA (27,8 por 100.000). 2

The HPBG offers a compilation and review of

existing prevention terminology. The unique
contribution of this reference tool is its focus on
HIV/AIDS prevention language from a
multidisciplinary perspective. Existing glossaries
mostly concentrate on medical and technical
language. This glossary contains commonly
used terms from various domains of HIV
prevention, such as clinical, medical, social,
behavioral, and educational. It also includes
programmatic, technical assistance, capacity
building, and organizational management
language, since these areas are an essential
part of everyday operations at non-profit,
government,
and
privately-funded
HIV
prevention programs. Through this compilation,
the authors aim to help improve communication
in this field and to demonstrate the complex and
multidisciplinary nature of disease prevention
work.
The use of the glossary is entirely voluntary. The
HPBG
initiates
the
conversation
for
standardizing the translation of HIV/AIDS
prevention terminology in this country and
abroad. Its content is not exhaustive by any
means, but it is an attempt to compile the wealth
of terms that are used everyday in HIV
prevention work.
El GBPV es el resultado de una revisin y

compilacin de la terminologa ya existente. La
contribucin especial de este material es su
enfoque en la prevencin desde una perspectiva
multidisciplinaria.
A diferencia de la mayora de los glosarios
existentes, que se centran en el lenguaje
mdico y tcnico, este glosario es un
instrumento de referencia que contiene el
lenguaje comn que se usa en los diferentes
campos de la prevencin de la infeccin por el
VIH, a saber, clnico, mdico, educativo y de
cambio de conducta y comportamiento.
Tambin se incluye el lenguaje programtico, de
apoyo tcnico, de fomento de capacidad
organizacional y gerencial, por ser estos
campos parte de las operaciones diarias de los
programas de prevencin de la infeccin por el
VIH, tanto de las organizaciones sin fines de
lucro como de los programas gubernamentales
y los privados. A travs de esta compilacin de
trminos, los autores pretenden contribuir a la
comunicacin en este campo y al mismo tiempo
reflejar
la
naturaleza
compleja
y
multidisciplinaria que requiere el trabajo de
prevencin de enfermedades.
El uso del glosario es enteramente voluntario.
Este glosario es un paso inicial hacia una
terminologa
uniforme
que
facilite
la
comunicacin en el campo de la prevencin de
la infeccin por el VIH y el SIDA tanto en este
pas como en el exterior. Su contenido no es
exhaustivo, pero es, sin dudas, un primer intento
de recopilar la riqueza de trminos que se usan
a diario en el trabajo de prevencin de la
infeccin por el VIH.

Methodology
Metodologa
The glossary is a compilation of terms used in

HIV prevention practice and research. The
selection of terms derives from a variety of
sources such as creditable websites, manuals,
educational materials, other glossaries, as well
as from conversations with experts. See the
References and Additional Resources sections
for consulted sources. The Glossary Work
Group discussed, reviewed and incorporated
changes at each stage of the glossarys
development.
Este glosario es una compilacin de los

trminos usados con frecuencia en la prctica y
la investigacin de la prevencin de la infeccin
por el VIH. Los trminos se seleccionaron a
partir de una variedad de fuentes, tales como
pginas del Internet autorizadas, manuales,
materiales educativos, otros glosarios, as como
de conversaciones directas con expertos. Vase
las referencias y las secciones adicionales
sobre las fuentes consultadas. El grupo de
trabajo del glosario discuti, revis e incorpor
cambios en cada etapa de elaboracin del
glosario.
The steps used to select and develop the

content of the glossary were the following:
Main entries in English were selected based on
the public health reference materials of HIV
prevention in the U.S.
Homologous or equivalent terms in Spanish
were researched, as well as commonly used
existing translations.
Suggested alternatives to the proposed terms
were provided based on experience and daily
practice.
Formative research was conducted in the early
stages of the project in a form of focus groups
with experts who serve multicultural Spanishspeaking populations in the United States,
including Puerto Rico, to shape content,
categories, format, and distribution channels.
The final document was reviewed by the
Glossary Work Group and 16 specialists with
more than five years of practical experience on
HIV prevention in the U.S. and its territories.
Seleccionamos y desarrollamos el contenido del

glosario de la siguiente manera:
Se seleccionaron las entradas principales en
ingls a partir de documentos sobre la prctica
de la prevencin de la infeccin por el VIH en el
campo de la salud pblica en los EE.UU.
A continuacin buscamos trminos homlogos
o equivalentes en espaol en diccionarios
mdicos,
glosarios
especializados
y
traducciones de fuentes confiables.
Segn fuera necesario, sugerimos alternativas
a los trminos propuestos segn la experiencia
y prctica diaria.
Realizamos una investigacin formativa a
travs de un grupo de opinin al inicio del
proyecto con expertos que sirven a poblaciones
multiculturales de habla hispana en los Estados
Unidos y en Puerto Rico, con el propsito de
guiar y dar forma al contenido, a las categoras
y al formato, y determinar los canales de
distribucin.
El documento final incorpora las observaciones
y revisiones del grupo de trabajo del glosario y
de 16 especialistas con ms de cinco aos de
experiencia prctica sobre la prevencin del VIH
en los EE.UU. y sus territorios.
How to use this glossary
Cmo usar este glosario
This glossary offers an extensive list of terms

translated from English to Spanish and vice
versa.
El glosario permite la bsqueda tanto del ingls al

espaol como del espaol al ingls.
For a quick search of terms see Tips and Tricks

for PDF Searches. Each entry may be either a
word or a phrase. The fields English Term or
Spanish Term suggest the preferred term, and
Synonyms includes other possible terms. Each
entry has an Observations field to provide
context, examples of use, and other relevant
information when necessary. This field also
includes some colloquial language, when
applicable, in order to help readers understand
the usage of these words. The inclusion of
colloquialism is not exhaustive; it is an attempt
to provide some linguistic and cultural
possibilities for the use of a word whenever
possible.
The glossary also includes a list for National
Origin as well as a list of most common
acronyms and abbreviations. The Spanish
translation of the U.S. government agencies and
departments were selected from the U.S.
governments official web portal www.usa.gov.
All other references used are cited and the
glossary provides a list for Additional Resources
for the readers reference.
This glossary aims to complement existing
materials and tries to avoid duplicating existing
work. The authors encourage users to review
the AIDSinfo Glossary for HIV/AIDS related
Terms at http://aidsinfo.nih.gov for terminology
and definitions related to HIV/AIDS treatment,
research and clinical trials, and the list of
additional resources at the end of this glossary.
Para la bsqueda rpida de trminos, vase la

seccin de Consejos prcticos para la bsqueda en
documentos PDF. Cada entrada puede ser una
palabra o una frase. Los campos Trmino en ingls
y Trmino en espaol sugieren el trmino
equivalente preferido para cada entrada, mientras
que el campo de Sinnimos incluye otros trminos
posibles. Cada entrada tiene un campo de
Observaciones que permite ver el trmino en
contexto, da ejemplos de uso, y cualquier otra
informacin que pudiera ser relevante. En este mismo
campo tambin se incluyen coloquialismos, siempre
que sean pertinentes, para ayudar al lector a
entender la manera como otras personas usan las
palabras. La inclusin de trminos coloquiales no es
exhaustiva; mas es un intento de ofrecer algunas
posibilidades lingsticas y culturales para el uso de
palabra siempre y cuando que sea posible.
El glosario tambin incluye una lista de gentilicios as

como una lista de las siglas y abreviaturas ms
comunes.
Los nombres en espaol de los
organismos y departamentos de los Estados Unidos

oficial del gobierno www.usa.gov.
Finalmente,
citamos nuestras referencias y proporcionamos una
lista de recursos adicionales para que los lectores
puedan explorar estas fuentes.
El objetivo de este glosario es el de complementar el
material terminolgico existente sin duplicar el trabajo
ya realizado. Los autores recomiendan a los usuarios
consultar el Glosario del VIH/SIDA de AIDSinfo en
http://aidsinfo.nih.gov,
donde
encontrarn
la
terminologa y las definiciones propias de los campos
de tratamiento, investigacin y ensayos clnicos del
VIH/SIDA, y la lista de recursos adicionales al final de
este glosario.
A word on categorization
Sobre la categorizacin
In addition to being a resource, this glossary

also intends to serve as a training tool to build
the capacity of HIV/AIDS professionals serving
Spanish-speaking
populations.
With
this
purpose in mind, the terms used have been
categorized each under twelve areas, with the
understanding that a term may belong to more
than one category.
Adems de ser un recurso terminolgico, este

glosario intenta ser una herramienta que facilite el
trabajo de los profesionales que sirven a poblaciones
de habla hispana. En base a esta argumentacin,
hemos categorizado las entradas en doce campos,
entendiendo que una entrada puede pertenecer a
ms de una categora.
The categories represent domains or areas of

HIV prevention work. This categorization is an
attempt to organize the terms, to help others
understand the field of HIV prevention, and to
provide a context for the terminology. However,
it is outside the scope of this glossary to classify
and categorize the entire field of HIV prevention,
and the authors do not claim to have included all
the possible areas of descriptions. The Glossary
Work Group is aware of the discrepancy these
limitations may create. It is the hope of the
authors that this glossary inspires others to
conduct
the
much
needed
additional
bibliographic research.
Each term has a number (0 through 12) under
the field of Category that corresponds to the
following areas:
0. denotes no category;
1. public health, health systems, programs/
interventions, social services, public policy, social
issues / populations at-risk;
2. health prevention/promotion, sexual reproductive
health prevention/promotion, behavioral health;
3. sex and sexuality, sexual behavior, sexual risk
behaviors, sexually transmitted infections (STI),
sexual anatomy, sexual transmission;
4. drug use and risky behaviors;
5. biomedical, clinical, treatment, vaccines, routes of
transmission (not sexual nor drug related);
6. research;
7. cultural competency;
8. technical assistance in organizational development
(OD) and capacity building assistance;
9. technical assistance for planning, implementation
and evaluation of programs;
10. finance / fundraising;
11. colloquialisms; and,
12. acronyms.
Las categoras representan los dominios o los

campos de trabajo en las cuales se lleva a cabo la
prevencin de la infeccin por el VIH. La
categorizacin es un intento por organizar los
trminos, ayudar a otros a entender el campo de
prevencin de la infeccin por el VIH y ofrecer el
contexto del trabajo terminolgico realizado. Sin
embargo, los autores de este glosario reconocen no
haber incluido todas las descripciones de los campos
posibles, pues escapa al propsito de este trabajo la
clasificacin y categorizacin de todo el campo de la
prevencin de la infeccin por el VIH. Los autores
estn concientes de esta limitacin y de las posibles
discrepancias que pudiera crear. Esperamos que este
glosario inspire a otros a realizar el trabajo
sistemtico que se requiere.
Cada entrada tiene un nmero (1 al 12) bajo el
campo Categora, que corresponde a los campos
siguientes:
0. sin categorizar
1. salud pblica, sistemas de salud;
programas/intervenciones, servicios sociales, poltica
pblica, problemtica social/poblaciones de riesgo;
2. prevencin/promocin de salud, salud sexual
reproductiva, anatoma sexual, comportamiento y
transmisin sexual;
3. sexo y sexualidad, comportamientos sexuales,
comportamientos sexuales de riesgo, infecciones
transmitidas sexualmente (ITS), anatoma sexual,
transmisin sexual;
4. consumo de drogas y comportamientos de riesgo por
consumo de drogas;
5. biomdico, clnico, medicamentos y tratamientos,
vacunas, otras maneras de transmisin que no son ni la via
sexual, ni por drogas;
6. investigacin; 7. competencia cultural;
8. asistencia tcnica para el desarrollo organizacional (DO)
y el fomento de la capacidad organizacional;
9. asistencia tcnica para la planeacin, ejecucin y
evaluacin de programas;
10. financiacin/recaudacin de fondos;
11. coloquialismos y; 12. siglas.

Country of Origin Adjectives
Gentilicios
In Spanish, the country of Origin terms denote

gender, masculine terms typically ending in o,
and feminine terms ending in a. Terms ending
in se are invariable. National origin terms may
be separated with a hyphen or written together
in a single word. In Spanish, national origins are
not capitalized, in English they are.
En espaol los gentilicios denotan gnero. Los

trminos masculinos terminan en "o"; y los
femeninos, en "a". Los terminados en "se"
permanecen
invariables.
Los
gentilicios
compuestos pueden separarse con guin o
escribirse unidos como una sola palabra. En
espaol los gentilicios se escriben con
minsculas, mientras que en ingls se escriben
con maysculas.
NOTE: In Spanish, the national origin term

corresponding to the people from the United
States is estadounidense. Strictly speaking,
the term americano refers to a person from any
country of the region of the Americas.
Nevertheless, the Spanish-speaking population
of the United States of America uses it to refer to
the people from this country. Indigenous people
prefer their tribal name.
Spanish
Espaol
English
Ingls
NOTA: En espaol, el gentilicio que

corresponde a las personas naturales de los
Estados Unidos es "estadounidense". El trmino
"americano", en sentido estricto, se refiere a una
persona de cualquier pas de la regin de las
Amricas.
Sin
embargo,
la
poblacin
hispanohablante de los Estados Unidos lo
emplea para referirse a las personas naturales
de ese pas. Las poblaciones indgenas
prefieren sus nombres tribales.
