Introduction:
This study evaluated knowledge about HIV/AIDS in elders using the services of Family Health Strategy.
Methods:
Cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study involving 238 participants. Mini-Mental State Examination and QHIV3I were applied.
Results:
About 30% of participants had active sexual lives and 5.5% used condoms consistently. The question with the highest score of right answers was about transmission through needles (95%) and the lowest (52.5%) was about whether individuals infected with the virus always displayed symptoms.
Conclusions:
It is necessary to train health professionals to develop actions that encourage elders to take preventive measures.
