This research had the general goal of investigating how Humanized Care during Prenatal follow-up can minimize the consequences caused by seropositivity, since discriminatory practices may influence the pregnancy cycle, both in her relationship with her child and her social environment. Dissociation of AIDS in risk groups is in favor of a new conception of the seropositive, that is, not only homosexuals, prostitutes and drug addicts may become infected; the epidemiological picture has been widened. Studies have shown that women, many of these monogamous, only learn that they are HIV-positive when they have a prenatal exam, during or in some cases only after delivery. In addition to the anxieties common to gestation, the seropositive pregnant faces an avalanche of fears: the one of the disease itself, of discrimination, of being judged or even of transmitting the virus to her child. The working hypothesis is that humanized care or its lack appears as a defining factor of the evolutionary courses of a pregnancy at risk, especially in the case of seropositivity. This is a qualitative research joined with the phenomenological method, associated with the naturalistic approach, obtained by collecting and analyzing subjective materials of interviews. The subjects were women in the pregnancy cycle diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and treated at the Reference Center for STD/AIDS in a town in the backland of Bahia. Data analysis shows that the presence of HIV in the lives of pregnant women affects every aspect of their life. Thus, the "care" that they receive during their pregnancy becomes crucial to its proper progress, as well as for the mother-child relationship. Then, with this work I intend to advocate the establishment of disciplines in health care courses, devoted to approaching humanized care, especially highlighting the fight against the discriminatory practices discussed above.
