title: [The actualization of nursing care for the child living with AIDS: being, knowing and shared doing].
abstract: This article is the result of considerations resulting from the dissertation Meeting of care, lived and dialogued, of the nursing team with the child-being who lives with AIDS, which aimed at understanding the meaning of such care under the look of the Humanistic Nursing Theory of Paterson and Zderad. It is a phenomenological-existential and qualitative study with hermeneutic analysis proposed by Motta and Crossetti in the light of Ricouer. The expressiveness of caring was unveiled as: act of life; authentic; the lived and dialogued meeting; need for taking care of oneself as an opening for the meeting; maternity handling; the need of approaching the hospital world to the child's world and compassion attitude.
