Human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) has metamorphosed in the past 40 years since the first cases were diagnosed. The advent of highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) transformed the disease trajectory for many patients with HIV/AIDS and transitioned the course from a terminal disease to a chronic disease model. This article reviews the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS, prognostic indicators, frailty, opportunistic infections, specific AIDS-defining malignancies and non-AIDS-defining malignancies, role of palliative care, advance care planning, and the role of HAART in patients dying of late-stage AIDS.
自首例人类免疫缺陷病毒/获得性免疫缺陷综合征(HIV/AIDS)病例被诊断以来的40年里,这种疾病已经发生了变化。高效抗逆转录病毒治疗(HAART)的出现改变了许多HIV/AIDS患者的疾病轨迹,并使病程从绝症转变为慢性病模式。本文综述了HIV/AIDS的流行病学、预后指标、虚弱、机会性感染、特定的AIDS定义恶性肿瘤和非AIDS定义恶性肿瘤、姑息治疗的作用、预先护理计划以及HAART在晚期AIDS患者死亡中的作用。
