The value of aggressive nutritional support in the patient with AIDS requires further study. As medical treatment modalities become more sophisticated, the etiology of complications that are associated with AIDS are more clearly understood and can be more effectively treated. Survival rates of greater than one and one-half years after an episode of pneumocystis are now more common. As clinicians become more familiar with AIDS and as new medical treatments are discovered, there is reason to believe that a gradual improvement in survival and quality of life will continue. Therefore, further research is needed to determine the point at which nutritional therapy is truly beneficial in the AIDS population.
积极的营养支持对艾滋病患者的价值有待进一步研究。随着医疗治疗方式变得更加复杂，与艾滋病相关的并发症的病因得到更清楚的了解，并且能够得到更有效的治疗。卡氏肺囊虫肺炎发作后存活超过一年半的比率现在更为常见。随着临床医生对艾滋病越来越熟悉，以及新的医疗方法被发现，有理由相信生存率和生活质量将持续逐步提高。因此，需要进一步研究来确定营养疗法在艾滋病群体中真正有益的时机。
