The death anxiety and death depression of 94 HIV-infected gay men in Southern California were determined as a function of subjective state, medical status, and psychosocial variables. They were administered the Death Anxiety Scale, Death Depression Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Scale, and a questionnaire assessing demographic and life-situation variables. Higher death anxiety and death depression were most highly correlated with state anxiety, trait anxiety, depression, severity of medical status, and severity of disability.
