HIV infection is strongly marked by stigma, prejudice and rejection by society, which can lead to social and family isolation, and consequent undermining of social networks and health monitoring. The absence of social support has been associated with negative effects on psychological and physical well-being in people lovong with HIV/AIDS, such as depression, lower self-esteem, inadherent to therapy or medical treatment, and progression to the final stage of the disease. This study aimed to investigate the association between social support and the adherence to antiretroviral therapy in adults with HIV/AIDS.
