Abstract：Objective To understand the incidence and possible influencing factors of depression and anxiety in treatment-na?ve HIV/AIDS patients, and to provide a theoretical basis for promoting physical and mental health of HIV/AIDS patients. Methods A total of 826 HIV/AIDS outpatients in Changsha first hospital were recruited. SDS (ZUNG self-rating depression scale), SAS (ZUNG self-rating anxiety scale), a self-made questionnaire and psychological diagnosis CT were performed on all participants. The results were analyzed by SPSS. Results The prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms was 40.07％, as the diagnosis of depression and anxiety was proved in 144 cases (17.43％).
