Pediatric HIV disease is a growing epidemic in the United States. As the incidence of pediatric HIV disease increases, so will the need for primary care providers knowledgeable in pediatric HIV disease. Primary care providers must have the knowledge and expertise to identify those infants at risk for HIV and be able to implement essential interventions to ensure the most optimal outcomes for these at-risk infants. It is no longer feasible for all at-risk children to be cared for by tertiary care facilities. Community based, primary care centers will need to fill an increasingly large role in this area of care.
儿科艾滋病在美国是一种日益严重的流行病。随着儿科艾滋病发病率的上升，对了解儿科艾滋病的初级保健提供者的需求也会增加。初级保健提供者必须具备识别那些有感染艾滋病风险的婴儿的知识和专业技能，并能够实施必要的干预措施，以确保这些高危婴儿获得最理想的治疗效果。让所有高危儿童都由三级医疗机构来照顾已不再可行。基于社区的初级保健中心将需要在这一护理领域发挥越来越大的作用。
