Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is now believed to be an uncurable disease despite significant advances in the area of antiretroviral therapy for patients with HIV infection. In Japan, it is essential to realize AIDS-defining diseases, particularly because it is not until HIV-infected patients are found that AIDS manifestations develop. Some of the opportunistic infections and AIDS-related tumors are curable by earlier diagnosis and treatment, so that nuclear medicine plays the major role in diagnosing and monitoring AIDS-defining diseases. AIDS complications were correlated with CD4+ lymphocyte counts and utility of nuclear medicine in HIV/AIDS was stressed.
尽管在针对艾滋病毒感染患者的抗逆转录病毒治疗领域取得了重大进展，但获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）目前被认为是一种无法治愈的疾病。在日本，认识到艾滋病界定疾病至关重要，特别是因为直到发现艾滋病毒感染患者才会出现艾滋病表现。一些机会性感染和与艾滋病相关的肿瘤可通过早期诊断和治疗治愈，因此核医学在诊断和监测艾滋病界定疾病方面发挥着主要作用。艾滋病并发症与CD4 +淋巴细胞计数相关，并强调了核医学在艾滋病毒/艾滋病中的作用。
