With emerging contextual factors and epidemiological transition of HIV/AIDS, the role and contributions of health behavior theories (HBT) are a compelling question after three decades of efforts to eradicate HIV. This study aims at exploring the global and historical evolution of literature and suggesting the most frequent research topics and research gaps in relation to the use of HBT in HIV/AIDS. A cross-sectional analysis of global HIV/AIDS bibliography was conducted through Web of Science (WoS) up to December 31, 2017. We utilized exploratory factor analysis to test the likelihood of research domains and landscape from the abstracts. A total of 29,997 papers in 153 HIV-related research areas were retrieved from the WoS database. This study suggests that HIV/AIDS research based on HBTs is increasing, and mainly focuses on elucidating traditional HIV driven factors and consonant with western perspectives most HBTs tend to be individually focused. Despite its important advancement, more research based on HBTs is essential to provide cultural background, social value, and contextualized factors where the HIV pandemic is dynamic; where new cases are transmitted from high-risk subgroups to the general population; and where epidemiological, social, and behavioral transitions change new infection routes, new perspectives for health service delivery especially non-medical services, and resource allocation.

健康行为理论在HIV / AIDS研究中的使用：文献计量分析（差距研究）。

随着新出现的背景因素和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的流行病学转变，经过三十年的消灭艾滋病毒努力，健康行为理论（HBT）的作用和贡献成为一个令人信服的问题。这项研究旨在探讨文学的全球和历史演变，并提出与在HIV / AIDS中使用HBT有关的最常见的研究主题和研究空白。截止到2017年12月31日，通过Web of Science（WoS）对全球HIV / AIDS参考书目进行了横断面分析。我们利用探索性因素分析从摘要中测试了研究领域和前景的可能性。从WoS数据库中检索了153个与HIV相关的研究领域的29997篇论文。这项研究表明，基于HBT的HIV / AIDS研究正在增加，并且主要集中于阐明传统的HIV驱动因素，并且与西方观点相一致，大多数HBT倾向于单独关注。尽管取得了重要进展，但更多基于HBT的研究对于提供艾滋病流行是动态的文化背景，社会价值和背景因素至关重要；从高危亚人群向普通人群传播新病例的地方；以及流行病学，社会和行为转变改变了新的感染途径，提供卫生服务（尤其是非医疗服务）的新观点以及资源分配。艾滋病流行是动态的背景因素；从高危亚人群向普通人群传播新病例的地方；以及流行病学，社会和行为转变改变了新的感染途径，提供卫生服务（尤其是非医疗服务）的新观点以及资源分配。艾滋病流行是动态的背景因素；从高危亚人群向普通人群传播新病例的地方；以及流行病学，社会和行为转变改变了新的感染途径，提供卫生服务（尤其是非医疗服务）的新观点以及资源分配。
