AB A psychosocial investigation offered to all HIV-infected men with
moderately severe or severe hemophilia in Sweden was made in 1986. Most
of these men had been infected in the years 1980-1984 and told about
their own infection in 1985. A noninfected group of hemophiliacs was
used as a reference group in the psychosocial investigation. A
psychosocial prognosis was made on the basis of the coping style
observed by means of the Coping Wheel. Among subjects who showed
evidence of a passive-pessimistic copying style, there was a significant
decrease in the number of factor concentrate units received in 1987 and
1988. Among subjects in the group with a more active-optimistic coping
style, there was a tendency of increasing the use of factor concentrate
during the years after the HIV-infection became known. This result
indicates that awareness of HIV-infection may influence specific
hemophilia behavior among subjects with passive-depressed copying style.
