OBJECTIVE: This work consists of a program of multidisciplinary assistance to relatives of patients carriers of HIV in the Infectious Disease service of HMCP-PUCCAMP. METHOD: Meeting of groups of relatives with multidisciplinary team that takes part: physicians, nurses, psychologists and religious, aiming to give support and technical and psychosocial explanations. RESULTS: 1. For the professional team, the confrontation with relatives divided responsibilities and alleviated the anxiety that the problematical AIDS includes. 2. We succeeded refit the patient to the familiar environment, extending the acceptation initially found in the multidisciplinary team. 3. We observed wide interest of the relatives in discussing and assimilating the AIDS question. CONCLUSION: This meeting results in gains for the relatives, patients and principally for the multidisciplinary team. We think, therefore, that such event could extend to the community in general (Public Health Centers and District Entities).
