The article which follows documents one of the first short-term support groups for HIV-infected people (PWH) in Israel. The group enabled its members to cope in a positive way with issues of life and death and with the daily hardships that accompany their condition, and became an essential supporting factor in their lives. Four main areas of difficulty emerged in the group pertaining to PWH encounters with the health service, of which all may have detrimental effects on compliance with treatment: (a) sensitivity to the patient; (b) ensuring the patient's privacy; (c) consistency in procedures and in providing information; (d) communication between doctor and patient. The importance of recognizing these difficulties and the need for improvement are underscored.
接下来的文章记录了以色列首个针对艾滋病毒感染者（PWH）的短期支持小组之一。该小组使成员能够以积极的方式应对生死问题以及伴随其病情而来的日常艰辛，并且成为他们生活中至关重要的支持因素。在该小组中，与艾滋病毒感染者与医疗服务机构接触相关出现了四个主要困难领域，所有这些领域都可能对治疗依从性产生不利影响：（a）对患者的敏感度；（b）确保患者隐私；（c）程序和信息提供的一致性；（d）医患沟通。强调了认识到这些困难的重要性以及改进的必要性。
