Abstract:

The HIV/AIDS during the childhood is a social issue and its understanding goes far beyond from what the health sector may concern. The normative, political, institutional and service sector responses have particularities related to the childhood. The approach is based on the following points: health care, nutrition, education, familiar-socioeconomic status, psychosocial repercussions, protection, housing, stigmatization and discrimination. With that approach an Institution was studied, using the Bioecological Model of Human Development. Children’s lifestyle is described and analyzed. A group composed of 31 children and 30 adults participated in this ethnographic study. The institutional response concerning health, nutrition, education and basic care, is satisfactory. As the main weak points were identified the nondisclosure diagnosis, children’s stigmatization and discrimination, institutionalization validation, psychoemotional repercussions and stigmatization management, and the research budget. The children acknowledge the institutional work on their basic-needs coverage and disapprove some stigmatizing and coercive practices. The reintegration of the children into their families is recommended as a future strategy based on evidences that demonstrate better bio-psychosocial results and lower costs.
