This study has the general objective to analyze the professional and personal self-protection on the network of social representations of HIV / AIDS from the perspective of nursing professionals. Nursing professionals are the ones who are longer in direct contact with their customers, and are also primarily responsible for the care of individuals. However, while imbued in providing care, they are aware that they are dealing with potential contamination risks. The study of social representations creates possibilities for understanding the modulation of the behavior of certain regions or groups in society. It consists of a qualitative, descriptive study, based on the Theory of Social Representations, in its procedural approach. The study group included 36 subjects who work in direct assistance to users, in Specialized Care Service (SAE) and Testing and Counseling Center (CTA) in the city of Rio de Janeiro, in 2011. Data collection occurred from a socioeconomic and professional questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with predefined thematic guide, being subjected to content analysis, with the help of analysis software NVivo, in its version 8.0. In the analysis of socioeconomic data, it has been found that most of the respondents belonged to female gender, with 88.89% of the sample of study participants, and that all of the subjects hold satisfactory educational background for the position they occupy, being academic degree required in many cases. In the analysis of the interviews, five main categories have emerged: protection measures in the care of people living with HIV / AIDS; the knowledge and fear of exposure to HIV / AIDS determining the personal and professional self-protection; sexual behavior and condom use - personal self-protection facets of STD / HIV / AIDS; health education and professional training as personal and professional self-protection strategies; the care for the person living with HIV / AIDS mediating professional self-protection. Therefore, changes in social representations are able to interfere in the management of self-protection. Thus, it is important to encourage the prevention and protection of the nursing professional who takes care of PLWHA, remembering that their self-protection should be prioritized, both in the professional context, as in his private life.
