背景：艾滋病毒/艾滋病是人类所面临的最具破坏性的疾病之一。艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者的抑郁非常普遍，但影响抑郁的因素尚未得到很好的研究。目的和目标：艾滋病毒/艾滋病虽然是世界范围内的一个重大公共卫生问题，但关于艾滋病毒和抑郁症之间的关系，目前还没有足够的数据。因此，本研究旨在评估印度环境中艾滋病毒/艾滋病与抑郁症之间的关系。材料和方法：本研究在德里的Guru Teg Bahadur医院和大学医学院进行。160名患者接受了一份包含影响抑郁因素的问卷调查。采用流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）测量抑郁症。收集的数据采用SPSS软件进行分析。结果：抗逆转录病毒治疗下HIV患者抑郁患病率为58.75%。抑郁症的患病率随着症状的严重程度而增加。失业、未受教育、未婚、属于共同家庭、没有家庭收入或家庭收入低、移民、与配偶关系冷淡或差、社会支持差和拜访过商业性工作者的人患抑郁症的比例更高。结论：HIV/AIDS患者抑郁率较高。早期发现抑郁症并进行治疗对提高治疗依从性和生活质量有很大帮助。
