The sample was composed of 44 persons of both sexes between the ages of 23 and 67 who carried the virus and were being monitored by the Testing and Advisory Center (cta, acronym in Portuguese). We collected data using a sociodemographic questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. In general, the results indicated that these persons regard aids as a contagious disease, without cure and giving rise to many prejudices. Similarly, they see that the level of knowledge of aids is ambivalent.Keywords: social perception, aids, sexually transmitted disease, prejudice.
