Abstract

This study aimed to understand and reflect symbolic contents and beliefs involving therapeutic routine of individuals with Human lmmunodeficiency Virus (HIV). We took the assumptions from Social Representations Theory proposed by Serge Moscovici (1987) and contributions of Central Core Theory, by Jean-Claude Abric (1994). The sample was composed by 13 patients - 06 sick and 07 HIV bearers - and their families, totalizing 28 respondents, respecting the ethical precepts from Res. 196/CNS/1996. When representing AIDS as DEATH, subjects seem to share, at same time, a collective and individual sense, showing that these real dimensions doesn't oppose since are anchored in beliefs system.
