Abstract
We summarize the recommendations for research that emerged from a NIMH -sponsored Conference on HIV, AIDS, and Severe Mental Illness. Recomme ndations are made in four areas, namely, epidemiology of HIV infection , epidemiology of sexual and drug-use risk behaviors, risk reduction a nd transmission prevention, and treatment of infected persons. This re search is urgently needed to adequately respond to the AIDS epidemic a mong people with severe mental illness. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
