Abstract
The recent introduction of therapy with protease inhibitors among persons infected with hiv (human immunodeficiency virus) has greatly improved the prognosis of the disease patterns consequent to infection. In particular, it improved the course of the disease and several other clinical aspects, but it also improved the quality of life of those sero-positive, and the psycho-pathological aspects related. Despite this, the disease is far from defeated and the discovery of being seropositive for hiv infection, still, is in itself a very stressful, emotional disaster that in the absence of an appropriate psycho-emotional support can have dramatic consequences.
The first communication to the patient of seropositivity for hiv is a very challenging event for his mental balance.
