Suicidal acts among people with HIV disease exceed those among the general population. Stress from the HIV diagnosis, treatment, and medications can lead to depression, which increases suicide risk. High quality care of depressed persons depends on sound scientific knowledge of evaluation of suicide. Incidence, epidemiology, risk factors, evaluation, and treatment of suicidal people are the core of this article. A patient's comment, "I'd be better off dead," deserves investigation as a cry for help and a clue to impending suicide.
感染艾滋病毒者的自杀行为比普通人群更为常见。艾滋病毒诊断、治疗及药物治疗带来的压力可能导致抑郁，进而增加自杀风险。对抑郁症患者的高质量护理取决于对自杀评估的扎实科学知识。自杀人群的发病率、流行病学、风险因素、评估及治疗是本文的核心内容。患者说“我死了会更好”这样的话，应作为求救信号及自杀迫近的线索加以调查。
