Objective: To analyze conditions of depression, self-concept, future expectations and hope in people with HIV/AIDS. Method: Cross-sectional survey of 108 individuals living with HIV/AIDS, carried out in a reference hospital for the treatment of infectious diseases in Northeast Brazil. The following instruments were employed: sociodemographic data, and questionnaires for ascertaining participants’ emotions, including scales for self-concept, hope, depression (HAMD-D), and future expectations. Descriptive statistics using the following tests were performed: Mann–Whitney, Kruskal–Wallis, chi-square, and t-test—considered significant when p ≤ 0.05. Results: 31.5% presented mild depression and 21.3% presented moderate depression; 63% reported difficulty in obtaining decent employment; 52.8% considered life a failure; 52.8% felt worthless. Fear, guilt and loneliness influenced self-concept (p ≤ 0.05). Loneliness influenced hope (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: It is necessary to raise the attention of nursing professionals and healthcare managers to the importance of providing health services that consider the mental health of people with HIV/AIDS, contributing to treatment adherence and well-being.

Since the discovery of the virus, attitudes of stigmatization of the disease constitute social barriers to people with HIV/AIDS (32) .…”

Objective: to understand the perception of users of a Specialized Care Service (SAE- Serviço de Assistência Especializada) in HIV/AIDS about their oral health. Method: qualitative research that used the techniques of participant observation and focal group. For the analysis of the material produced, categories of analysis, construction of dialogical map and identification of linguistic repertoires were used. Results: impacts arising from oral health problems such as: inability to eat properly, feeling ashamed due to tooth loss, inability to perform physical exercises and, as the main barrier to access to dental treatment, fear of exposure to practices of discrimination and prejudice. Final considerations: we need the implementation of policies of Permanent Education to all professionals involved in the care for this population, to ensure users’ rights, ensure qualified care, and create security and trust relationships with individuals living with HIV/AIDS, in access to services.

The sample was composed of 44 persons of both sexes between the ages of 23 and 67 who carried the virus and were being monitored by the Testing and Advisory Center (cta, acronym in Portuguese). We collected data using a sociodemographic questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. In general, the results indicated that these persons regard aids as a contagious disease, without cure and giving rise to many prejudices. Similarly, they see that the level of knowledge of aids is ambivalent.Keywords: social perception, aids, sexually transmitted disease, prejudice.

Del mismo modo, se reconoce que el nivel de conocimiento acerca del sida es ambivalente.Palabras clave: concepciones sociales, sida, enfermedades de transmisión sexual, prejuicio.
