Two hundred fifty seven articles related to HIV/AIDS were found in a search through a database dedicated to indexing all original data relevant to medicine published in Malaysia between the years 2000-2013. One hundred seventy one articles were selected and reviewed on the basis of clinical relevance and future research implications. This review of literature has been divided into six sections, namely, epidemiology, risk behaviour, clinical features and opportunistic infections, management, diagnosis and discussion. Wherever possible, the reviewed articles have been presented in a chronological order to provide a historical perspective to the reader as many of the results of earlier publications, which are common knowledge now, were relatively unknown then. Since the early days of the HIV epidemic in Malaysia, there have been rapid advances in the understanding and the management of the epidemic in Malaysia based on the insights derived from the results of these research. These insights are invaluable tools for policy makers, advocators, healthcare providers, researchers and everyone and anyone who are involved in the care of individuals with HIV/AIDS. Attempts have been made to identify gaps in certain research areas with the hope of providing directions for future research in HIV/AIDS in Malaysia.
在一个专门索引2000年至2013年间马来西亚发表的所有与医学相关原始数据的数据库搜索中，发现了257篇与艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关的文章。基于临床相关性和未来研究意义，挑选并审阅了171篇文章。这篇文献综述分为六个部分，即流行病学、风险行为、临床特征与机会性感染、管理、诊断和讨论。只要有可能，审阅的文章都按时间顺序呈现，以便为读者提供一个历史视角，因为许多早期出版物的结果如今已是常识，但在当时相对鲜为人知。自马来西亚艾滋病毒疫情初期以来，基于这些研究结果所获得的见解，马来西亚在对该疫情的认识和管理方面取得了迅速进展。这些见解对于政策制定者、倡导者、医疗服务提供者、研究人员以及所有参与艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者护理工作的人员而言都是非常宝贵的工具。已尝试找出某些研究领域的差距，以期为马来西亚未来的艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究提供方向。
