Abstract

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has recently received considerable media attention. Health care workers, including respiratory care practitioners, are concerned about the many medical and psychosocial implications of the disease. This article reviews the epidemiology and clinical features of AIDS. Health care workers do not have a demonstrably higher incidence of AIDS infection than does the general population; risks to the respiratory care practitioner may be minimized by adherence to the suggested guidelines for infection control. Respiratory care practitioners are ethically bound to treat all patients, regardless of the nature of their disease; the guidelines given in this article will help practitioners do this.

艾滋病:呼吸护理从业者的问题。
获得性免疫缺陷综合征(艾滋病)最近受到了媒体的广泛关注。卫生保健工作者,包括呼吸保健从业人员,对该病的许多医疗和社会心理影响感到关切。本文就艾滋病的流行病学及临床特点作一综述。卫生保健工作者感染艾滋病的发生率并不明显高于一般人群;通过遵守建议的感染控制指南,可以将呼吸保健医生的风险降至最低。从道德上讲,呼吸系统护理从业者有义务治疗所有患者,无论其疾病的性质如何;本文中给出的指导方针将帮助从业者做到这一点。
