| Sumario: | Objective: To analyse the sexuality of patients carrying the human immunodeficiency virus in view of the disease. Methods: This is an integrative review conducted from September to October 2013, in SciELO, LILACS, MEDLINE/PubMed, and Cochrane electronic databases in the period of 2003 to 2013, using the descriptors ‘sexualidade and HIV’ and ‘sexuality and HIV’. Results: The sample was composed of 14 articles, which discussed the problems faced by people living with HIV/AIDS in the experience of their sexuality. The evidence shows that there are significant changes in sexual patterns, which lead people to limit or even eliminate their affective and sexual relationships; the feeling that prompts to this is the fear of seeing themselves a carriers of an incurable disease, of the possibility of vertical transmission and the necessary condition of condom use, and also the fear of telling the diagnosis to the partner, and transmitting the infection. Conclusion: The results shown in this review provide subsidies for the development of new investigations as well as the consolidation of the knowledge produced by literature to provide tools for the improvement of the professionals who assist people with HIV/AIDS, thus ensuring humane, comprehensive and individual support. doi:10.5020/18061230.2014.p550 |
