This article unfolds from a research, with roots in gender and cultural studies, conducted with a specific group of young people: those who live with HIV/AIDS. There were performed online narrative interviews with 16 youngsters+, residents from different regions of the country, analyzed in terms of cultural analysis. In a sharp manner, here we explore some meanings they attach to time and reflect on the ways in which HIV/AIDS reframes and crosses their experiences, academic, professional and affective choices, operating primarily with the concepts of time and life projects. The analysis contributed both to think about the life projects with these young people (since teacher trainings do not include much of this specificity) and to work with youths, in the plural, considering their perspectives and ways of looking at the world, breaking the borders of idealization and adult-centrism, usually triggered when the life projects are discussed.
