Objective. To study and systematize the features of the development of mental disorders seen in HIV infection. Materials and methods. A total of 250 HIV-infected patients and 50 consumers of injected narcotics aged 18–50 years were studied. Most HIV-infected patients were aged 21–40 years. The study used a general clinical method to investigate patients for psychopathology in addition to lab tests and experimental psychological investigations. Results and conclusions. Mental disorders seen in HIV-infected patients formed three groups of impairments: psychogenic-reactive, exogenous-organic, and personality disorders. The dynamics of these disorders were found to result from the complex actions of somatogenic, nosogenic, and premorbid personality factors.
