HIV/AIDS is one of the major issues to be faced by the mental health care sector over the next decade. Many mentally ill people already have or will become infected with HIV due to a range of factors including lack of information and poor risk prevention skills. Others without a previous history of mental illness will develop mental health problems because of the effects of HIV on the CNS. Most people with HIV/AIDS will also experience severe depression and anxiety related to their infection while others will develop AIDS related dementia. HIV/AIDS related training is necessary for mental health professionals so that people with HIV/AIDS are given high quality non-discriminatory care. The need for further research in the area of HIV/AIDS and mental health is also discussed.
艾滋病毒/艾滋病是未来十年精神卫生保健部门面临的主要问题之一。由于包括信息缺乏和风险预防技能差等一系列因素，许多精神疾病患者已经感染或将会感染艾滋病毒。其他没有精神疾病既往史的人也会因艾滋病毒对中枢神经系统的影响而出现心理健康问题。大多数艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者还会因感染而经历严重的抑郁和焦虑，而其他人则会患上与艾滋病相关的痴呆症。精神卫生专业人员有必要接受与艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关的培训，以便为艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者提供高质量的无歧视护理。本文还讨论了在艾滋病毒/艾滋病与精神卫生领域进行进一步研究的必要性。
