Preparo da família para a revelação do hiv na infância: Experiências de enfermeiras

Abstract

Nurse’s participation in the process of HIV/AIDS disclosure during childhood is not very explored in the literature. Objectives: to unveil the experience of nursing on the preparation of families to disclose HIV to the sereopositive child. Methods: Qualitative research developed through the Creativity and Sensitivity Method with 13 nurses in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Data was submitted to Orlandi’s discourse analysis. Results: Discourses of structural prejudice and stigma represent obstacles to the nurse's participation in the process of preparing families to reveal HIV/ AIDS to children who are HIV positive. Conclusions: Children’s right to access information about their condition is recognized, as long as it is in a safe way with clear and non-traumatic language. This requires previous preparation from those who will disclose it.
