This study aimed at understanding the experience of adolescents sexuality that live with HIV and indicate possibilities for the practices of care performed by nurses. It is a descriptive study with qualitative approach, with the hermeneutic dialectic approach. We studied 20 adolescents with HIV treated at a university hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Was used as a technique for data collection semi-structured interviews and two data collection instruments: a characterization questionnaire of subjects and a thematic guide who guided the interviews. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and content analyzed according to the technique of thematic content analysis. The result showed that the meaning of health for the subjects in a general analysis, is associated with quality of life and need of the healthy maintainence habits. About HIV, highlighted the ignorance about the virus and transmission modes. Living with HIV is predominantly marked by negative feelings such as fear and suffering related to prejudice, stigma and discrimination. Teenagers sexuality is associate to sexual act or sexual orientation. Sexuality for teens who acquired the virus through sexual transmission is also related to difficulties with the same after the discovery. Adolescents infected through vertical transmission are more used to the acceptance of the disease. We observe the lack of perception of adolescents in relation to the practices of care performed by nurses, targeted to minimize their needs. We conclude that the analysis techniques used were appropriate, since it identifies the experiences and the meanings of adolescent sexuality that live with HIV and the importance of caring practices of nurses. This study will serve to critical reflection of health professionals, especially nurses, through the identification and perceived demands of adolescents with HIV to develop strategies to address the peculiarities and needs of adolescents.
