Material & Methods :Aself-administered questionnaire was distributed to HIV-infected and AIDS patients visiting. area hospitals specializing in AIDS treatment between November,**, and April,**-. The questionnaire included dates of HIV infection, awareness of it and hospital visit, and HIV testing before AIDS developed. We then analyzed the data from +1* patients. Results :The delay from HIV infection until awareness of it was +, years for,+ and more than - years for +1 of 00 respondants. The delay from awareness of HIV infection until hospital visit was less than + month for 03 and more than + year for, of +0- patients responding. Before AIDS developed, 10 of the AIDS patients did not undergo HIV testing. The frequent reason for no HIV testing was I was not afraid of HIV infection. Conclusion :These results suggested that the delay from HIV infection until awareness of it was long, but that the delay in visiting a hospital was short. Further research is important. Key words : HIV, AIDS, awareness of HIV infection, hospital visit, delay -0-0
