AIDS under the contamined partner's view

Our objective was to reflect upon the HIV contamination in women who has a stable relationship. We have used semistructure interview with an ethnographic way of focussing to the women from Infections diseases hospital, also STD's at the State of Ceará. At the interview questions about prevention in the couple relationship, the HIV positive result reaction, the feelings toward children and living with family and friends have been made. The interview analysis has identified the absence of prevention, the lack of search about HIV information, the wives wrath and the worries about the children, and also the difficult situation between family and friends.
