title: [AIDS phobia (its clinical picture and typology)].
abstract: Clinical, psychological and neurological examinations were performed of 478 subjects (208 males and 270 females) seeking confidential testing for HIV infection in one-on-one counseling facilities. The findings were correlated with serological evidence on HIV-antibodies and somatic status. The psychological response to seronegative, seropositive and false positive results was registered and compared to individual somatic status. Behavioral patterns were established for subjects with neurotic reactions, neurosis, neurosis-bordering condition, psychopathy and schizophrenia.
