Introduction: Bioethics emerges in oncologic palliative care from the reflections of that care at the end of life for cancer patients are usually inadequate because the individuals has little relief of symptoms, adverse reactions to treatment, threats of physical, social and psychological destruction and loss of functions.
The studies show that HIV/AIDS disease had and is having a high impact on Populations' health but it represents serious socioeconomic problems added for individuals, families, communities and Governments of many countries. In Brazil, the National Standardization Panel of the Federal Courts, the body that comprises the Brazilian National Council of Justice, drafted the docket 78. From this docket, to grant or deny the social security benefit, the judges will not have their decisions limited only to the clinical aspects of medical experts report, starting to also consider the personal, economic, social and cultural aspects of the HIV patient. By analyzing the cases heard by Federal Court of the 5 th Region, which constitutes the Brazilian states of Paraíba, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará, Alagoas and Sergipe, fourteen cases were found on appeal of special courts. Within those cases, ten were founded to be HIV positive and were granted some sort of pension and welfare benefit, and four were rejected, denying incoming thus those patients with syndrome, the right to receive benefits. The Brazilian Federal Government through the Provisional Measure no 664 from 2014 excluded the art. 151 of the Federal Law 8. 213/91 which dealt with the granting sickness benefit and disability retirement to patients with various disabling conditions which among the HIV saving a total of 18 million to public coffers. The authors point out that the exclusion or this article constitutes the loss of benefits-sickness assistance and disability retirement-those who do not have a minimum period of contribution to Social Security.
