艾滋病患者鲜有咨询 “恐艾”人群挤破门槛发布时间:2009-02-03 来源: 荆楚网
荆楚网消息 (楚天金报) 为帮助艾滋病患者消除恐惧心理，武汉大学中南医院开设了国内首个艾滋病心理关怀门诊，但是门诊运行2个多月以来，艾滋病患者很少来咨询，接诊的九成咨询者都是“艾滋病恐惧症”患者。
“一夜情”后患上“恐艾症”
大年初三，一名小伙子走进了艾滋病心理关怀门诊。他只有23岁，参加工作不久。年前，他与一名女网友发生“一夜情”。不久，他出现发烧、浑身乏力、失眠、食欲下降、淋巴结肿大等症状。他上网一查，与艾滋病的早期症状十分相似，他认为自己一定是得了艾滋病，虽然到医院做了相关检查，排除了染艾滋的可能，但他仍不相信，对生活几乎绝望，而女网友突然失踪更让他感到恐惧。
他听说中南医院有艾滋病心理关怀门诊，初三就来到门诊，希望解除恐艾心理。专为艾滋病患者开设的心理门诊，却来了很多身体健康、只是担心自己得了艾滋病的“恐艾”症患者，这让艾滋病心理关怀门诊负责人肖劲松教授始料未及。
来咨询的艾滋病患者不多
据了解，去年12月1日，在艾滋病专家桂希恩教授的建议下，中南医院开设了国内首个艾滋病心理关怀门诊，旨在对艾滋病患者进行心理疏导，帮助他们消除恐惧心理。开诊后的2个月里，接诊了50名患者，但是艾滋病患者不到一成。肖劲松说，由于艾滋病目前仍无法治愈，加上社会歧视现象仍然存在，特别是一个人患上艾滋病，其健康恶化，家庭经济往往陷入困境，绝大多数艾滋病患者都有不同程度的恐惧心理。若不对其进行心理疏导，不但不利于疾病的治疗，还会因部分患者产生逆反、报复心理，仇视社会，造成艾滋病蔓延的隐患。
“恐艾”症患者逐渐增多
艾滋病恐惧症是一种对艾滋病的强烈恐惧，并伴随焦虑、抑郁等多种心理症状和行为异常的心理障碍，是最近几年才出现的一种新的心理障碍。肖劲松指出，随着我国艾滋病感染途径由以血液传播为主变为以性传播为主，“恐艾”症患者逐渐增多，患者可以是有过高危行为的人，也可以是没有过高危行为的人，患者以高学历的白领居多。从心理学的角度来分析，“恐艾”症患者不仅仅是由于对艾滋病的临床表现和传播途径的片面性认识和错误理解，相当一部分患者和其本身的性格缺陷有密切关系。专家提醒，要消除“恐艾”症，就要对艾滋病有正确的认识，不但要从医学的角度认识它，还要从心理的角度认识它，实在摆脱不了恐艾心理，就要寻求心理医生的帮助。（本报记者郑志方 通讯员高翔）
