Introduction: It is estimated that 40 million people in the world live with HIV and approximately 16% of them do not know about their diagnosis. With regard to the Person Living with HIV (PLHIV), the reception after diagnosis translates into a powerful tool, as it helps the user to clarify their doubts about the HIV infection and recognize situations of risk and individual vulnerabilities; allows to talk about your fears and concerns about HIV infection; enables the creation of a link between PLHIV and the professional, team and health service; and finally, it allows the healthcare professional and the team to have a greater understanding of the difficulties of PLHIV, ensuring that care is provided in the best possible way.
