关于HIV+受试者自杀倾向的研究结果已经发表，部分所谓的风险增加可能与发病前的风险因素有关，如吸毒成瘾和同性恋。为了科普这些混杂因素。我们评估了瑞士男性同性恋者和双性恋者的自杀意念的程度，比较了HIV-和HIV+受试者。共有164名受试者返回了一份自我管理的家庭完成的问卷，该问卷在瑞士法语区的同性恋者中分发。自杀意念通过Poldinger量表进行评估。已知139例受试者的血清状态。其中65人为艾滋病毒阳性。在艾滋病毒携带者和艾滋病毒阳性者中，自杀企图的比例很高。Poldinger量表的得分在HIV+受试者中显着，尽管适度，较高，这一发现似乎是HIV感染的直接后果。
Conflicting results have been published about suicidality among HIV+ subjects, part of the alleged increased risk may be linked to premorbid risk factors such as drug addiction and homosexuality. In order to cope with these confounding factors. we assessed the degree of suicidal ideation in a sample of Swiss male homo- and bisexuals, comparing HIV- and HIV+ subjects. A total of 164 subjects returned a self-administered; home-completed questionnaire, which had been circulated among homosexuals in the French speaking part of Switzerland. Suicidal ideation was assessed through Poldinger's scale. Serostatus was known for 139 subjects. among whom 65 were HIV+. A high rats of suicide attempts was found among homosexuals, both HIV- and HIV+. Scores on Poldinger's scale are significantly, though moderately, higher among HIV+ subjects, and this finding seems to be a direct consequence of HIV infection.
