title: [Psychological reactions of medical staff to the patients infected with HIV-1].
abstract: This paper describes the relationship between medical staff and HIV-1 patients. Important mechanisms can be used by individuals with HIV-1 infection in order to accept their seropositivity to HIV-1. Among them, regression and negation are well-known. These mechanisms are related to countertransference lived by the medical staff. They are various as well as rejected by medical staff to avoid anxious reactions. On the contrary, the medical staff has to accept the experiences of the patients and to be ready to listen to the problems of HIV-1 infected people.
