title: [Health in adolescence with HIV / AIDS: paths for a post-2015 schedule].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  to relate the perception of health in adolescents living with HIV/AIDS with possible strategies to reduce the spread of the virus.
  
  
  METHODS
  qualitative, descriptive exploratory study, developed in the Specialized Assistance Services in the countryside of Rio Grande do Sul, with 15 adolescents living with HIV/AIDS. Information was collected in 2013, through semi-structured interview and processed by thematic analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The information analysis resulted in two categories: Perceptions of Health and Adolescence with HIV/AIDS, which made it possible to relate living with HIV/AIDS and the Millennium Development Goals with strategies that allow reducing the spread of the virus.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  adolescents with HIV/AIDS perceive themselves as healthy. The strategies to reduce the spread of the virus must therefore focus on self-care and in reducing prejudice and stigma in society, these actions being suggested as an agenda for the next millennium goals.
