AB OBJECTIVE: to investigate the social and cultural aspectos of HIV+
women. MATERIAL AND METHODS: the 30 HIV+ women who have care at a public
hospital--Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre, general hospital,
reference of HIV infected patients in the south of Brazil. The data
presented relays in ethnographic research. RESULTS: We point out the
relationship between the patients household composition and the
psychological and pragmatic support provided to them. We demonstrate the
contradiction between the mandatory restriction to breastfeeding and the
importance of breast milk to the infants' health and the social
evaluation of the mothers. DISCUSSION: the necessary emphasis on
prevention required to AIDS gets in confrontation with existing notion
of disease. To assintomatic women who are in the puerperium this
restriction is seen as the first symptom of the disease.
