This paper discusses the AIDS epidemic from the perspective of its impact not only biological but also social, with the primary focus on children infected with HIV. For this purpose, we contextualized the course of the epidemic, addressing the change in its picture on the world scene until childhood. It analyzes the concept of childhood from a historic perspective, mainly addressing distinctive psychosocial aspects of this child, derived from the emerging epidemic. It is mostly based on Michel Foucault's theory, combined with specific aspects of AIDS. The aim is to identify the speeches involved in this childhood, believing that they have power to determine places, as well as changes in our society.
