The arrival of AIDS/HIV infection in the UK has conferred a new significance upon genitourinary medicine which is necessarily involved in all aspects of patient care, surveillance and prevention. HIV should now be considered a relevant issue for discussion with all presenting patients who are at-risk of contracting any sexually transmitted disease. Targetting education at individuals together with the successful implementation of other control strategies through genitourinary medicine clinics provides exceptional opportunities to inhibit the further spread of HIV infection and to reduce morbidity from other STD and related pathology in the wider community.
艾滋病病毒/艾滋病感染在英国出现后，给性传播疾病医学赋予了新的重要意义，因为它必然涉及患者护理、监测及预防的各个方面。现在，对于所有前来就诊且有感染任何性传播疾病风险的患者，都应将艾滋病病毒视为一个相关的讨论话题。通过性传播疾病诊所针对个体开展教育，并成功实施其他控制策略，为抑制艾滋病病毒感染的进一步传播以及降低更广泛社区中其他性传播疾病及相关病理状况的发病率提供了绝佳机会。
