The number of persons suffering from AIDS is continually increasing. Although politicians, in particular, had been hopeful that spread of information would solve the AIDS problem, we are now facing an unexpectedly large number of AIDS patients requiring help, a number that is growing all the time. Most of the problem involved arise in non-hospitalised care. Housing the patients is among the most prominent tasks to be tackled with utmost speed. Several solutions are possible: a) Helping persons who can still look after themselves independently, to find living accommodation. b) Living in care in residential groups c) Living in care in single apartments or flats d) Living in residential quarters utilized both for living and care, i.e. large flats where sick persons can be looked after. Such outpatient care of AIDS patients requires close cooperation of all concerned with these activities. AIDS counselling in Public Health offices can exercise a coordinating and organising function in this regard. In addition, of course, individual persons will also have to be looked after. Politicians on a community, Land and state government level are required to face this problem "fairly and squarely" and to contribute towards solving it. AIDS patients cannot handle this situation "off their own bat".
感染艾滋病的人数在持续增加。尽管政客们尤其曾寄希望于信息传播能解决艾滋病问题，但我们现在面临着数量意外庞大且仍在不断增长的需要帮助的艾滋病患者。大多数相关问题出现在非住院护理方面。为患者提供住所是最紧迫需要解决的任务之一。有几种可能的解决方案：a) 帮助那些仍能独立照顾自己的人找到居住场所。b) 居住在集体护理机构。c) 居住在单人公寓或单元房接受护理。d) 居住在兼具居住和护理功能的住宅区，即能照顾病人的大套间。对艾滋病患者的这种门诊护理需要所有相关方在这些活动中密切合作。公共卫生办公室的艾滋病咨询在这方面可以发挥协调和组织作用。当然，此外还必须照顾到个体患者。社区、州和联邦政府层面的政客需要“直面”这个问题并为解决它做出贡献。艾滋病患者无法独自应对这种情况。
