The biological pathways exist that could allow psychological factors to alter immune status in HIV-positive individuals. It yet remains to be determined whether such factors can, in fact, act as cofactors in HIV progression. The biology of AIDS is complex, and a multitude of processes may act on HIV progression and complicate studies in this area. The search for modifiable host factors that may alter the progression of HIV infection, however, is an important part of AIDS research and deserves the careful attention of behavioral and biological scientists.
生物途径是存在的，它可以使心理因素改变HIV阳性个体的免疫状态。然而，这些因素是否真的能作为HIV病情发展的辅助因素还有待确定。艾滋病的生物学机制很复杂，许多过程可能会作用于HIV的病情发展并使该领域的研究变得复杂。然而，寻找可能改变HIV感染进程的可调节宿主因素是艾滋病研究的重要组成部分，值得行为科学家和生物科学家的密切关注。
