Behavioural treatment of AIDS-focused illness phobia

S Logsdail, K Lovell, H Warwick and I Marks
Maudsley Hospital, Denmark Hill, London.

Seven cases are described in which the central symptoms were fear of contracting AIDS, avoidance of related cues, rituals and reassurance- seeking. Associated features include previous illness phobias and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Treatment with exposure and response prevention (plus a cognitive session in one case), led to improvement sustained up to three months after discharge, although one patient stopped treatment prematurely. Controlled trials of behavioural treatment in hypochondriasis are required.
