RESUMO
No início da epidemia, no Brasil, crianças que nasciam soropositivas para o HIV, tinham expectativa de vida que não ultrapassava a infância. Em conseqüência, familiares e profissionais de saúde freqüentemente não se engajavam em ações voltadas a preparar estas crianças para encarar questões específicas da adolescência e maturidade, tais como comportamentos sexuais, decisões reprodutivas e outros aspectos relacionados. No entanto, com a implantação do acesso gratuito e universal à terapia anti-retroviral de alta potência (HAART), e conseqüente aumento da expectativa de vida de crianças nascidas com HIV / AIDS, esses pacientes começaram efetivamente a alcançar a adolescência e juventude.

O estudo foi realizado em 2008, no Serviço de Doenças Infecciosas e Parasitárias – Ambulatório de DIP – Adolescentes do Hospital Universitário Clementino Fraga Filho, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (HUCFF/UFRJ). Foram realizadas 20 entrevistas semi-estruturadas, 18 com adolescentes vivendo com HIV/AIDS e 2 entrevistas com infectologistas responsáveis pelo atendimento desses pacientes.
