Abstract:
The case reports of four HIV positive psychiatric inpatients are presented, in the light of which widespread contact fears and avoidance reactions in lower offices of justice, social and health administration become evident. Attention is drawn to possible misuse of psychiatric hospitals for quarantine purpose as long as there are no clear provisions to deal with the increasing group of HIV subjects.
