This study analyses emotional disturbances in people infected by AIDS. The participants (105 males) were separated in the following four groups: (1) subjects with AIDS, with a parenteral drug addiction (ADVP), and who live in a condition of social exclusion (SE) (n = 30); (2) ADVP and SE subjects (n = 30); (3) SE subjects (n = 15); and (4) individuals in a condition of social adaptation (n = 30). The assessment was made by means of self-report instruments of anxiety, depression and psychopathology. Results point out that people who are in a situation of social exclusion have a similar pattern in the studied variables unlike the normal group. However, this does not show in a clear way that the same frequency of emotional alterations may exist in these groups, thus we suggest that possibly there may be particular situations which make certain exclusion groups receive more multidisciplinary intervention.Downloads
