The authors examined levels of psychosocial distress and well-being in 65 gay or bisexual men infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); 24 of these men had asymptomatic HIV infection, 22 had acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related complex, and 19 had AIDS. All of the men evidenced high levels of psychosocial distress, but those with AIDS-related complex and those with asymptomatic HIV infection were significantly more distressed than those with AIDS. Corresponding differences were not observed in feelings of psychosocial well-being. The authors conclude that specific psychosocial issues and adaptive demands should be identified over the course of HIV illness.
作者研究了65名感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）的男同性恋者或双性恋者的心理社会困扰和幸福感水平；其中24人患有无症状HIV感染，22人患有艾滋病相关综合征，19人患有艾滋病。所有这些男性都表现出高水平的心理社会困扰，但患有艾滋病相关综合征和无症状HIV感染的男性比患有艾滋病的男性明显更痛苦。在心理社会幸福感方面未观察到相应差异。作者得出结论，应在HIV疾病过程中识别特定的心理社会问题和适应性需求。
