 AB    In this paper we review studies of depression in patients with HIV/AIDS.
       Methodological issues of importance in understanding and evaluating
       depression in this patient population are described, and methodological
       variations between studies, particularly in reference to methods of case
       detection, diagnostic criteria used and characteristics of the
       populations studied, are identified. The findings reported in the
       current literature in general are contrary to what would be expected
       from an examination of the significant biological and psychosocial
       stresses of individuals with HIV, and are inconsistent with those of
       other life-threatening illnesses and CNS diseases. Clear conclusions
       regarding the prevalence of depression and its effect in patients with
       HIV/AIDS cannot yet be made.
