Literature suggests that the level of psychiatric morbidity is high among HIV-infected individuals. However, often psychiatric problems are undetected and untreated among these people and this is possible by the simple measure of screening when these people contact a health-care facility such as an integrated counseling and testing center (ICTC). The paucity of published data in this arena necessitates exploring the facts related to this issue. Hence, this study was aimed to identify the psychiatric morbidity among people undergoing HIV testing by a screening method.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional, descriptive study was carried out among 384 individuals, those who were undergoing HIV testing at an ICTC facility of a tertiary care hospital in South India.
