Resumo: OBJECTIVE To identify vulnerabilities of elderly people with HIV/AIDS and the trajectory that they follow until reaching the diagnosis of the disease. METHOD Qualitative research conducted in specialized clinics in the state of São Paulo, from January to June 2011. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 elderly people who were found to be infected with the virus at the age of 60 years or older. The interviews were analyzed using content analysis. RESULTS In this process four categories emerged, then analyzed with reference to the theoretical framework of vulnerability. CONCLUSION Late diagnosis of HIV infection or AIDS among the elderly happens in the secondary or tertiary service. Issues related to sexual life of the elderly are only questioned by health professionals after the diagnosis, also the time that condom use becomes absolute. It is believed that the investigation of the vulnerability of the elderly to HIV/AIDS allows for carrying out appropriate interventions for this population.

OBJETIVO Identificar as vulnerabilidades de idosos com HIV/aids e o caminho percorrido por eles até o diagnóstico da doença. MÉTODO Pesquisa qualitativa conduzida em ambulatório especializado no interior do Estado de São Paulo, de janeiro a junho de 2011. Realizou-se entrevista semiestruturada com 11 idosos que se descobriram infectados com o vírus com idade igual ou superior a 60 anos. As entrevistas foram analisadas utilizando a análise de conteúdo. RESULTADOS Desse processo emergiram quatro categorias, que foram analisadas à luz do referencial teórico da vulnerabilidade. CONCLUSÃO O diagnóstico tardio da infecção por HIV ou aids entre os idosos acontece no serviço secundário ou terciário. Questões relacionadas à vida sexual dos idosos só são questionadas pelos profissionais de saúde após o diagnóstico da doença, momento também em que o uso do preservativo se torna concreto. Acredita-se que a investigação da vulnerabilidade do idoso ao HIV/aids possibilita realizar intervenções pertinentes a essa população. OBJETIVO Identificar las vulnerabilidades de los ancianos con VIH/SIDA y el camino recorrido por ellos hasta el diagnóstico de la enfermedad. MÉTODO Investigación cualitativa conducida en ambulatorio especializado en el interior del Estado de São Paulo, de enero a junio de 2011. Se llevó a cabo entrevista semiestructurada con 11 añosos que se descubrieron infectados con el virus en edad igual o superior a 60 años. Las entrevistas fueron valoradas utilizándose el análisis de contenido. RESULTADOS De ese proceso surgieron cuatro categorías, las que se analizaron a la luz del marco de referencia teórico de la vulnerabilidad. CONCLUSIÓN El diagnóstico tardío de la infección por VIH o SIDA entre los ancianos ocurre en el servicio secundario o terciario. Cuestiones relacionadas con la vida sexual de los ancianos sólo las cuestionan los profesionales de salud luego del diagnóstico de la enfermedad, momento también en que el uso del preservativo se hace concreto. Se cree que la investigación de la vulnerabilidad del anciano al VIH/SIDA posibilita realizar intervenciones pertinentes a dicha población. Universidade de São Paulo.
