The family of a cancer patient usually does everything in its power to care for the patient. AIDS patients, on the other hand, are often reluctant to let their families know that they have AIDS. Even if the family does know, they may not visit or are often judgmental.
癌症病人的家屬往往對病人極盡呵護、關心、照顧；愛滋病人卻不敢跟家人講，家人知道了也不一定會來探望。
