This work analyzes the counselling after anti-HIV test in Basic Units of Health. It is a qualitative study developed in Family's Basic Units of Health in the city of Fortaleza (UBASF). The field work happened by the observation of the 12 male nurses attendance in consultations of prenatal. The theoretical referencial of analysis was the Paterson & Zderad's Humanistic Theory of Nursing, seen that in Nursing, according to the theory, implicates in a special type of encounter among human beings. The analysis was based on the concept of dialogue, having as variables its structural elements: the encounter, the relationship, the presence and the call and the answer. It was observed that the assistance to the pregnant didn't reach the relationship I-YOU, in other words, the relationship subject-subject, with the presence of the authentic dialogue. The relationship that prevailed was the I-THAT, subject-object. The consultations were fast and purely mechanics, leading those professionals in certain moments to escape from a humanized assistance.
