It has been suggested that HIV infection is associated with an increased risk of suicidal behaviour. This paper reviews the literature on suicide in patients with HIV disease and discusses methodological problems encountered in studying the incidence of suicide in this population. A snowballing method was used to identify cases of suicide in patients who were receiving treatment for HIV disease in a central London health district. The possible under detection of suicides among AIDS patients is considered. The six case reports are described to illustrate the clinical and psychosocial characteristics of suicides, and they are discussed in relation to other findings a suicide in patients with HIV disease and other physical illnesses. |
