Abstract:
I studied 25 cases of suicide in people diagnosed as having the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or who thought that they had that disorder, during 1985-1989. Case reports are presented. A discussion ensues concerning the occurrence of this phenomenon and the medical examiner's role in AIDS' public health situation in general.
