 AB    Clinical psychopathological, follow-up and neuropsychological evaluation
       was made for 125 HIV-infected patients in stage 2B of the disease
       (general lymphadenopathy by V. I. Pokrovskii's classification). It is
       shown that seropositive subjects had asthenic syndrome for the initial 6
       months of the disease. According to the manifestations, asthenia was
       defined as psychogenic-reactive and organic. In the former variant the
       treatment involved psychotherapy and occasionally drugs, the latter was
       treated with chemotherapy and psychopharmacological modalities as the
       first-line and psychotherapy as adjuvant means. The authors expect that
       a differential approach to HIV-infection-related asthenia at the disease
       onset may contribute to better life quality and prognosis in AIDS
       patients.
