Objective: The objective was to identify risk factors for domestic accidents in children exposed to HIV at birth and to indicate associated nursing diagnoses. Methods: A descriptive and exploratory qualitative study, conducted in the home environment of 12 families, consisting of mother and child exposed to HIV at birth, between January and February 2011. It used photography as a technological resource to target those at risk of accidents and a semistructured form to characterize the families. We analyzed the data according to risk situations recommended by safety standards for the prevention of domestic accidents. Results: The injuries identified with the greatest risk of occurrence were: falls and fractures, poisoning, electric shock and suffocation/choking/gagging. The risks identified were the basis for the classification of nursing diagnoses. Conclusion: The home environment should be the focus of continuous assessment, so as to enhance interventions to reduce vulnerability to health problems in children.
