住房/缺乏住房与艾滋病毒密切相关。住房在连接贫穷和不平等、艾滋病毒风险和感染后果的因果链条中占有重要地位。这篇《艾滋病与行为》特别增刊中的文章证实了无家可归、住房贫乏或不稳定对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的影响，并向科学家提出挑战，要求他们测试和政策制定者落实住房承诺，以此作为应对流行病的创新措施。然而，为了影响住房政策的制定，使高危或艾滋病毒感染者受益，倡导者必须证明为什么存在这种联系，以及住房如何有助于结束这一流行病以及改善艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者的护理和健康。我们通过对“为什么”这个问题的讨论来介绍这份补充材料。
Housing/lack of housing and HIV are powerfully linked. Housing occupies an important place in the causal chains linking poverty and inequality, and HIV risk and outcomes of infection. The articles in this Special Supplement of AIDS and Behavior confirm the impact of homelessness, and poor or unstable housing, on HIV/AIDS, and challenge scientists to test and policy makers to implement the promise of housing as an innovative response to the epidemic. In order to influence the development of policies on housing to benefit at-risk or HIV-infected persons, however, proponents must justify why this association exists, and how housing can help end the epidemic as well as improve the care and health of persons living with HIV/AIDS. We introduce this supplement with a discussion of the "why" question.
