Objective:
to relate the perception of health in adolescents living with HIV/AIDS with possible strategies to reduce the spread of the virus.
Method:
qualitative, descriptive exploratory study, developed in the Specialized Assistance Services in the countryside of Rio Grande do Sul, with 15 adolescents living with HIV/AIDS. Information was collected in 2013, through semi-structured interview and processed by thematic analysis.
Results:
The information analysis resulted in two categories: Perceptions of Health and Adolescence with HIV/AIDS, which made it possible to relate living with HIV/AIDS and the Millennium Development Goals with strategies that allow reducing the spread of the virus.
Conclusions:
adolescents with HIV/AIDS perceive themselves as healthy. The strategies to reduce the spread of the virus must therefore focus on self-care and in reducing prejudice and stigma in society, these actions being suggested as an agenda for the next millennium goals.
