- Abstract
This research aimed to understand the psychosocial impacts of AIDS on the lives of individuals affected by this disease. It is a descriptive and exploratory study, which presents the thematic analysis of content as a method of data collection. Fifteen interviews were conducted with people who were hospitalized at a referral hospital in the care of this public in the state of Ceará. Among the observed impacts, it is possible to highlight changes in the self-image, impairments in the exercise of sexuality and changes in the lifestyle after the discovery of the diagnosis. The experience of the stigma is still strong, causing psychic suffering and reducing the support networks of the interviewees. It is expected that this study contributes to an integral care for people living with HIV/AIDS.
