Hepatitis C and HIV/AIDS are among the most significant infectious diseases of our time. Psychiatric patients are often part of the higher risk population to contract these diseases, and patients who have contracted these diseases experience a wide variety of psychiatric problems associated with the underlying infection and with its treatment. The authors provide an overview of these infectious diseases and then describe the varying roles psychiatrists have in caring for these patients in the various settings of their work. The complexity of these patients presents a unique challenge to, and opportunity for, psychiatrists to integrate and coordinate their interventions with those of other medical providers and thereby enhance the patient's cooperation with all aspects of care.
丙型肝炎和艾滋病毒/艾滋病是我们这个时代最严重的传染病之一。精神科患者往往是感染这些疾病的高危人群的一部分，而感染了这些疾病的患者会经历与潜在感染及其治疗相关的各种各样的精神问题。作者首先概述了这些传染病，然后描述了精神科医生在其工作的各种环境中照顾这些患者时所扮演的不同角色。这些患者情况的复杂性对精神科医生来说是一个独特的挑战，同时也是一个机会，使他们能够将自己的干预措施与其他医疗服务提供者的干预措施进行整合与协调，从而提高患者在各方面护理中的配合度。
