A nationwide study of the psychosocial situation of HIV-infected hemophiliacs was made in Sweden. Forty-three HIV-infected hemophiliacs aged between 12 and 72 years were compared with 30 age matched non-infected hemophiliacs. A group of 17 parents of HIV-infected boys was also studied. An unexpectedly high number of residential moves was found in the infected group during the period of diagnosis. The HIV infection diagnosis was rated the most disastrous event compared to all other studied events (including death of family member), particularly among parents of HIV-infected boys. With regard to coping, subjects were asked to record their "content of life" for the past, the present and the future. The most striking findings were the pessimistic ratings of expected number of activities with other people in the future. Such activities were assumed to decrease significantly in the infected, but not in the non-infected group. Furthermore, the ratings of possibility to influence activities were lower in the infected group compared to the non-infected. The content of activities, on the other hand, differed very little between the two groups, although non-infected men reported more hobbies and leisure activities and social activities than infected men.
