abstract="Personal and familial psychopathological histories and information about early losses were collected and the results of the Locus of Control test and tests for psychological responses were determined for a series of 115 HIV-infected subjects (55 homosexuals; 60 drug-addicts). The percentage of anxious and depressed patients among the homosexuals was higher than among the drug-addicts. A higher percentage of drug-addicts reported past histories of attempted suicide than the homosexuals. Early loss events were more frequent for homosexuals than for drug-addicts. There was a higher psychopathological risk for asymptomatic HIV-seropositivity in homosexuals, drug addicts who had attempted suicide, subjects that acknowledged that they have serious illness and subjects with external coping mechanisms rather than internal.<p /><p>Language: fr</p>",
