新华网武汉２月３日电（记者黎昌政）专为艾滋病感染者开设的心理关怀门诊，却来了很多身体健康，但总担心自己得了艾滋病的“恐艾症”患者，这让关怀门诊负责人、武汉大学中南医院副教授肖劲松始料未及。艾滋病心理关怀门诊运行两月来，“恐艾症”患者占到了九成。
目前，绝大多数感染者对艾滋病有不同程度的恐惧心理，若不进行心理疏导，不仅不利于疾病的治疗，还会使部分患者产生逆反、报复心理。去年１２月１日，在艾滋病防治专家桂希恩教授的建议下，中南医院开设了艾滋病心理关怀门诊。
今年正月初三，肖劲松就接诊了一位“恐艾症”患者。这位刚走上工作岗位的大学生在与一名网友发生关系后，不久出现发烧、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。虽然到医院做检查排除了感染的可能，但他仍不相信。
“恐艾症”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。肖劲松说，“恐艾症”患者既有存在高危行为的人，也有部分没有高危行为的人，以高学历的白领居多。
肖劲松说，“恐艾”不仅是由于他们对艾滋病的临床表现和传播途径“一知半解”，相当部分患者还和本身性格缺陷有密切关系。要消除恐惧，不仅要对艾滋病有正确的认识，还要从心理的角度认识它，实在摆脱不了的要寻求心理医生的帮助。
