| Sumario: | The purpose of this study was to compare the life situations and level of therapeutic adherence of a sample of 29 women and 47 men from the Mexican state of San Luis Potosi living with HIV/AIDS. A semi-structured interview was administered. All participants live under very difficult conditions, particularly women: they have poor schooling, live alone and in charge of their children, with economic strains and poor family support. Statistically significant differences were found between male and female participants regarding transmission mode (p ≤ 0.00), alcohol use (p ≤ 0.03) and family support (p ≤ 0.00), among others. Women and men showed insufficient levels of therapeutic adherence to guarantee a healthy life style. |
