 AB    The aim of this study was to determine whether HIV infection is
       associated with psychiatric morbidity or neuropsychological impairment
       in asymptomatic and early symptomatic stages of disease in gay men. The
       subjects were 100 gay men (68 HIV-ve, 32 HIV+ve, 6 being CDC IV). All
       subjects were recruited at the time of requesting their first HIV test
       and the assessment was double-blind to HIV serostatus. There were no
       differences in psychiatric status or neuropsychological performance
       between the HIV-ve and HIV+ve groups. Multiple regression analysis and
       logistic regression were used to identify factors associated with
       psychiatric morbidity, neuropsychological impairment and subjective
       reporting of memory problems and physical symptoms for all 100 subjects.
       Previous psychiatric history and current illegal (non-dependent) drug
       use were associated with psychiatric morbidity, poor education was
       associated with neuropsychological impairment and psychiatric status
       (score on HAD and PSE) was associated with subjective reporting of
       memory problems and physical symptoms.
