AB OBJECTIVE: To create the first supporting house for children
HIV-positive in the city of Rio de Janeiro. METHODS: Negotiations with
the municipality of Rio de Janeiro to obtain a house for the project.
The supporting house is administrated by a non-governamental
organization--Sociedade Viva Cazuza. The project is being financed by
Bird and the Brazilian Ministery of Health and supported by the
Municipal and State Secretaries of Health. All the staff of the
supporting house is trainned for working with homeless children and
against the prejudice of the comunity. The house was prepared to receive
30 children, with ages between 2 month and 10 years old, which were
orphans or abandonned by their families. The children will live in the
house and will receive social and psychological support and pedagogical
attention. RESULTS: All the negotiations were finished and the house is
totally prepared. The staff is being trainned and children are being
selected. We intend to reduce the morbi-mortality of children
HIV-positive and to improve quality of life by dealing with these
children with love and respect. CONCLUSION: Alternatives of health care
must be offer to children HIV-positive to reduce the unnecessary
long-term permanence in hospitals due to social problems.
