A convenience sample of eighty HIV infected persons was obtained from The Bering Care Center in Houston, Texas. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Hopelessness Scale (HS), and a Demographic Data Sheet (DDS) were used to collect data. Subjects were classified into three groups; HIV+ (19;24%), ARC (26;33%), and AIDS (35;43%).

Subjects with ARC (X = 23.1538, n = 26) and AIDS (X = 23.1286, n = 35) were significantly more depressed than HIV+ subjects (X = 14.8421, n = 19).
