abstract="The disclosure of a positive Human Immunodeficiency Viral (HIV) test to infected patients has prompted a cry for revenge directed towards themselves and society. AIDS revenge is a behavioural manifestation of a grief reaction variably influenced by the individual's perception of his illness and society's response to it. Many perceive an infection with the AIDS virus as a shameful death sentence, exposure of homosexual involvement and humiliation to the victim and his family. We wish to present three short cases. There appears to be a need for structured psychological treatment methods. The consultation-liaison psychiatrist or psychologist must be involved in treatment since they can identify serious problems before they present as medical emergencies.<p />",
