Abstract:

The study of the transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and implementation of prevention of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have recognized the importance of social networks in the contamination, treatment adherence and quality of life of those infected. Given such importance, we carried out a systematic review of articles on social support networks for people living with HIV / AIDS available in the Virtual Health Library (VHL) and published in Brazil since 2002 until 2012. We found 31 articles in journals focused nursing (n = 15), psychology (n = 6) and Health Sciences / Biomedical (n = 6) and produced by first authors associated with the Public Higher Education Institutions (n = 17). Regarding the methodology, prioritized the qualitative method (n = 18), cross-sectional studies (n = 19) and the exclusive participation of people living with HIV / AIDS (n = 13). Predominated analytical categories related to adherence to treatment (n = 6), family (n = 4), vulnerability (n = 3) and support / social support / network support (n = 5). It discusses the need to invest in studies that focus on family members and caregivers as participants and their homes as a place of research, as well as deeper theoretical study on the subjects addressed and use of theories developed for the analysis of social networks.
