Abstract：
Despite the growing prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodefiency syndrome (AIDS) in the Philippines and the psychosocial challenges it engenders, there remains a dearth of research on the intersection of HIV and hospice care. Stigma and discrimination further compound the challenges of providing inclusive hospice care to HIV patients in the country. Drawing upon the results of a recently published article centered on a Veteran assigned male at birth who expressed a desire for gender reassignment while receiving end-of-life care, this paper highlights the importance of sensitivity, understanding, and affirmation in hospice settings for HIV patients in the Philippines.
摘要：
尽管人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）和获得性免疫缺陷综合症（AIDS）在菲律宾日益流行，并带来了心理社会挑战，关于艾滋病毒和临终关怀的交叉研究仍然缺乏。污名和歧视进一步加剧了向该国艾滋病毒患者提供包容性临终关怀的挑战。借鉴最近发表的一篇文章的结果，该文章以一名退伍军人出生时被分配的男性为中心，他表示希望在接受临终关怀的同时重新分配性别，本文强调了敏感性的重要性，理解,以及在菲律宾HIV患者的临终关怀环境中的肯定。
