Patients with HIV do not need to be hospitalized if they do not have an opportunistic infection. They only need to receive free antiviral medication at the local designated hospital and regular outpatient follow-up. If there is an opportunistic infection, the patient can be hospitalized at the infection department or the AIDS department of the local hospital, and there will be a procedure for this. The most important treatment for HIV patients in hospital is the treatment of opportunistic infections, because the chance of opportunistic infections is higher in HIV patients, and the clinical manifestations of the infections are different depending on the site of infection. The more common opportunistic infection is Pneumocystis pneumonia, which causes fever, cough, chest tightness and other such symptoms, and requires timely hospitalization, otherwise the condition will progress and may even be life-threatening.
