 AB    We investigated the present health care situation in medical institutes
       of medical doctors who are the members of human immunodeficiency virus
       type-1 (HIV) -research group headed by Prof. Yamada through
       mailing-questionnaire. It was revealed that there are many
       HIV-treatment-related problems in medical institutes, included a refusal
       to accept a newly-diagnosed HIV-infected patients or to conduct surgical
       treatment on them. Furthermore, it was also clarified that there are
       quite a many HIV-infected patients who were not informed their
       HIV-status yet, thus causing secondary-HIV-infection to their sexual
       partners. From these results, urgent drastic measures to solve these
       problems are needed for the caring patients living with HIV.
