Fear of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) has been associated with a variety of psychiatric disorders in adults and in some adolescents. A case is reported of a child with an unrealistic fear of AIDS who developed an obsessive-compulsive disorder. This case illustrates the importance of providing adequate AIDS information to children.
