Abstract

Objective: identify in the literature the psychosocial factors involved in adhering to the treatment of HIV / AIDS in adult patients. Methods: This is an integrative literature review using the SciELO, PubMed and Lilacs databases and including Brazilian articles published between 2014 to 2019, followed by the PICO strategy to identify the psychosocial factors associated with adherence to HIV / AIDS treatment in adults. The bibliographic search took place in May 2020. Results: 118 articles were found and after reading in full, five articles were selected that corresponded to the guiding question. Emotional aspects, social relationship and professional attention were identified as influential psychosocial factors in the process of adherence to drug treatment of HIV/AIDS in adults. Conclusions: We conclude that the social representation of HIV / AIDS is associated with cultural prejudices that exposes the person to emotional and social vulnerabilities, affecting their decision regarding therapeutic adherence.
