Abstract :

The treatment of patients living with HIV/AIDS is not just the simple act of providing drugs and medical supervision, but fundamentally the act of rescuing the feeling of self-love and the fight against prejudice. Thus, the city of Campos dos Goytacazes, located within the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, has a municipal program of patient care with a multidisciplinary strategy that involves not only the work of health professionals, but also to alternative strategies such as: The Health Strategy at school; The home support to HIV/AIDS patient and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). These provide support and recovery of citizenship of the users. However, much remains to be done to fight prejudice and this action is not only the responsibility of government, but also the alignment of all social actors.
