As antiretroviral therapy becomes more widely available in developing countries, increasing numbers of HIV infected children are surviving into adolescence and beyond. As they grow older, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) serostatus disclosure presents a unique challenge to health care workers and care givers of children with HIV/AIDS. Although disclosure is a crucial component of the continuum of pediatric HIV care with proven health benefits, it is poorly addressed in routine clinical practice. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of researches on disclosure of pediatric HIV infection. The need for practical interventions including a guideline development to support pediatric HIV disclosure which provides children with developmentally appropriate information about the disease is suggested.
随着抗逆转录病毒疗法在发展中国家越来越普及，越来越多感染艾滋病毒的儿童存活至青春期及以后。随着年龄的增长，向感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）的儿童医护人员和照顾者透露其HIV血清学状态带来了独特的挑战。尽管透露病情是儿科艾滋病毒护理连续过程的关键组成部分，且已证明对健康有益，但在常规临床实践中却很少得到解决。本文旨在综述有关儿科艾滋病毒感染病情透露的研究。建议采取实际干预措施，包括制定指南以支持儿科艾滋病毒病情透露，从而为儿童提供与疾病发展阶段相适应的信息。
