The association between the infection produced by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and syndromal or subsyndromal depression has been the topic of several studies in recent years. The results of the WHO Neuropsychiatric AIDS Study, conducted in the five geographical areas predominantly affected by the HIV epidemic, suggest that the symptomatic stages of HIV infection are associated with an increased prevalence of depressive symptoms, and, at least in some contexts in which the spreading of the infection is more recent and the social rejection of HIV-seropositive subjects is harsher, may also be associated with an increased prevalence of a syndromal diagnosis of depression.
人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染与综合征性或亚综合征性抑郁之间的关联一直是近年来多项研究的主题。在受HIV流行影响最严重的五个地理区域开展的世界卫生组织神经精神艾滋病研究结果表明，HIV感染的症状阶段与抑郁症状患病率增加相关，并且至少在某些感染传播较新且对HIV血清阳性者社会排斥更严厉的情况下，也可能与抑郁症综合征诊断患病率增加相关。
