AB OBJECTIVE: We experienced 2 suicides and 2 attempted suicides. We
evaluated these 4 cases and considered background of suicide. PATIENTS:
Case No. 1 was a 31-year-old asymptomatic HIV infected heterosexual man.
He was known HIV positiveness by blood donation. He contacted with
counsellor at the early days. Althouth his lover and friends accept him,
he killed himself 20 days after notification. Case No. 2 was a
32-year-old AIDS homosexual man. He was diagnosed Kaposi's sarcoma and
notified AIDS at a hospital. He was transfered to our hospital without
his will because the hospital could not accept him. He had strong pain
by oral Kaposi's sarcoma. Probably these two points are the cause of
suicide. Case No. 3 was a 48-year-old AIDS heterosexual man. He was
diagnosed Kaposi's sarcoma and notified AIDS at a hospital. He attended
foreign hospital, because his local hospital refuse him. He could not
meet person who accept him. He could not continue to go the hospital
because of poor. Probably these two points may be the cause of attempted
suicide. Case No. 4 was a 35-year-old AIDS heterosexual man. He lost his
sight because of CMV retinitis. He said that life hangs heavy upon me at
the time of attempted suicide. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUTIONS: We need to
establish the scale to evaluate the QOL of patients with HIV at many
view points.
