The lungs are a primary target for the opportunistic infections and malignancies affecting those with HIV infection. In the patient whose HIV infection is undiagnosed, PCP is the commonest clue to its presence. Early diagnosis prevents morbidity and mortality. Less commonly, interstitial lung disease and tuberculosis, often "primary" or clinically atypical, will be the clue to underlying HIV infection. Other pulmonary complications are usually a late manifestation of HIV infection, which has usually (but not always) already been diagnosed.
肺部是影响艾滋病毒感染者的机会性感染和恶性肿瘤的主要靶器官。在未被诊断出感染艾滋病毒的患者中，肺孢子菌肺炎是其存在的最常见线索。早期诊断可预防发病和死亡。较少见的情况是，间质性肺疾病和结核病，通常是“原发性”或临床非典型的，将是潜在艾滋病毒感染的线索。其他肺部并发症通常是艾滋病毒感染的晚期表现，而艾滋病毒感染通常（但并非总是）已经被诊断出来。
