The present study investigated mental health status and some related factors of HIV-infected Korean males. 71 HIV-infected males were administered with the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised and a questionnaire including several factors related to their mental health. As the result, high rate of HIV-infected persons showed poor mental health status, particularly, high anxiety, psychoticism, and depression. HIV-infected persons with poor mental health tend to have short HIV-infection period, be unstable in financial status for a living, be reluctant to disclose the fact of their infection to other people, and have few persons who may consult with their psychological problems. These findings are discussed in terms of their implication and limitation.
