The study aimed at obtaining information about the experience of how the diagnosis of HIV infection was given. Thirty asymptomatic HIV seropositive subjects completed a self-report questionnaire enquiring about their views of the process of communication of a positive test result. Subjects' current mood was assessed with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD). Only about one-third of subjects were definitely satisfied with the way they were told the diagnosis. Satisfaction was associated with perceived reassurance and sympathy, and with the quality of the information given. The views of patients, as reported in this study, should be taken into account when training staff in the notification of HIV test results
