HIV infection is now almost 40 years old. In this time, along with the catastrophe and tragedy that it has entailed, it has also represented the capacity of modern society to take on a challenge of this magnitude and to transform an almost uniformly lethal disease into a chronic illness, compatible with a practically normal personal and relationship life. This anniversary seemed an ideal moment to pause and reflect on the future of HIV infection, the challenges that remain to be addressed and the prospects for the immediate future. This reflection has to go beyond merely technical approaches, by specialized professionals, to also address social and ethical aspects. For this reason, the Health Sciences Foundation convened a group of experts in different aspects of this disease to discuss a series of questions that seemed pertinent to all those present. Each question was presented by one of the participants and discussed by the group. The document we offer is the result of this reflection.
HIV 感染已经存在近 40 年了。在这期间，HIV 不仅带来了灾难和悲剧，还展现了现代社会应对如此重大挑战的能力，将一种几乎普遍致命的疾病转变为一种慢性病，使患者能够过上基本正常的个人和人际关系生活。这个周年纪念日似乎是一个理想的时刻，可以停下来思考 HIV 感染的未来、仍然需要解决的挑战以及近期前景。这种反思不能仅仅局限于专业人士的技术方法，还需要涉及社会和伦理方面。出于这个原因，健康科学基金会召集了一组在该疾病不同方面的专家，讨论了一系列似乎与在场所有人都相关的问题。每个问题都由一名参与者提出，并由小组讨论。我们提供的这份文件就是这次反思的结果。
