%X OBJECTIVE To investigate the status of suicidal behaviors and suicidal ideation among HIV positive patients in Guangzhou, and to explore its relevant psycho-social factors. <br><br>METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional survey of HIV positive adult patients in six districts of Guangzhou to collect social-demographic characteristics, HIV infection time, suicidal ideation, suicidal behaviors and psycho-social factors. Use suicidal ideation and suicidal behaviors as the dependent variables to conduct the univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. <br><br>RESULTS Of the 464 subjects,5.2% and 17.4% of them had suicidal behaviors and suicidal ideation. Analysis showed that the infection route, depression, anxiety, social discrimination, self-discrimination were correlated with the suicidal behaviors(all P<0.05), while age, health status, spouse infection, depression, anxiety and social support, social discrimination, self-discrimination were correlated with the suicidal ideation(all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression model showed that depression and self-discrimination were associated with suicidal behaviors(all P<0.05),depression and social discrimination were associated with suicidal ideation (all P<0.05). <br><br>CONCLUSIONS HIV-positive adult patients in Guangzhou have a high incidence of suicidal ideation and behaviors.
