The rates of AIDS incidence in Brazil show signs of stabilization. Vertical transmission of the disease, still high, indicates its prevalence amongst women.

The objective of the present study was to analyse scientific production on the subject in order to identify evidences to the importance of a support network in the lives of women with HIV It is an integrative review using Medline via PubMed and Lilacs databases. A total of 83 articles were found. Inclusion criteria was: scientific research available in full; papers written in Portuguese, English or Spanish; research published between 2008 and 2013; texts related to the subject-matter. Eleven articles were analysed. The analysis was based on reiterative readings in order to collect data and subjects. Two themes were identified: implications of support network in the vertical transmission of AIDS; and the relevance of secondary support network in decision making. The results demonstrated the signficance of a support network in the adherence to prophylactic measures. Furthermore, health professionals should be aware of such network in order to consider the needs of this population in their health planning.
