We describe the global conditions associated with the AIDS pandemic and its socioeconomic and psychological impacts. A systematic review was performed to investigate the literature on the mental health needs of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) in India. The focus is on the prevalence, nature, and sociocultural factors of the epidemic in India. A conceptual framework is offered and the findings of this study are presented across three major domains: (a) prevalence of mental health disorders among the HIV-infected population; (b) mental health needs of PLHA; and (c) gaps in policies and programs addressing these issues. Experiences of HIV stigma and discrimination are also noted in this population. We conclude with implications for future research, interventions, and public policy.
我们描述了与艾滋病流行相关的全球状况及其社会经济和心理影响。进行了一项系统综述，以调查印度艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者（PLHA）心理健康需求的相关文献。重点在于印度该流行病的患病率、性质和社会文化因素。提供了一个概念框架，并在三个主要领域呈现了本研究的结果：（a）艾滋病毒感染人群中心理健康障碍的患病率；（b）艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者的心理健康需求；以及（c）解决这些问题的政策和项目中的差距。该人群中艾滋病毒污名化和歧视的经历也被提及。我们最后阐述了对未来研究、干预措施和公共政策的启示。
