This study aimed to analyze the social representations of AIDS and quality of life and their structural relationships among people living with HIV / AIDS Care Service Specializing in HIV / AIDS (SAE) located in North Rio de Janeiro municipality. This is a descriptive study, quantitative and qualitative approach, based on structural and procedural approaches of the theory of social representations and the construct of quality of life. The study was conducted in an SAE municipality located in the northern state of Rio de Janeiro. The subjects were people living with HIV / AIDS and their patients in this service. Data collection occurred by: a questionnaire on socioeconomic data, the technique of free evocation of words, with hierarchy, the terms "AIDS" and "quality of life of the person who got AIDS"; recorded semi-structured interviews, and with the application the WHOQOL-HIV-Bref. For the latter, sampling was performed, and included 131 participants who responded also to the socioeconomic data. Of these, 103 responded to the evocation of which 35 were part of the interviews. The quantitative analysis was made using descriptive and inferential statistics, with the aid of SPSS 17.0 software. The structural analysis was performed by invocations using the technique of the framework of four houses and a statistical comparison between the two corpora of social objects on screen, both cases with the support of software EVOC 2005. Was performed also similarity analysis procedure. The data analysis was computerized lexical content type, with the aid of the software Alceste 4.7. Structural analysis of social representations of HIV / AIDS has identified its core composed of prejudice, treatment, medications and family. There is probably a process of gradual change in this representation, the reduction of the importance of cognition generating death. The structuring of the social representation of the quality of life for people with HIV / AIDS included a central system composed of themes similar to those of HIV / AIDS: prejudice, treatment, medications and family, plus good food and work. It was argued the case, then a relationship representational type coordinated in conjunction and sandwiched between these two social objects, referring to the logic of non-autonomy, with implications for the process of anchoring and objectification of the representation of quality of life. The interviews allowed greater understanding of the relationship and the specific nature of the content involved, making the identification of elements for informational and experiential aspects of HIV / AIDS, and the quality of life as a cross between thematic classes generated, passing familiarity with the relevant facets the disease stage of internalization. Quantitative evaluation of the quality of life led to the identification of multidimensional intermediate levels, with the worst perception of the environment domain variables and statistical differences in social, economic and clinical. We conclude that the social representations of the quality of life among people with HIV / AIDS is modulated by social representations of the injury, especially with regard to its facet of stigmatization and that this interaction can occur, albeit asymmetrically, in a double track, contributing to new meanings of HIV / AIDS, along with social practices
