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.
