Abstract

Objective: To analyze the process of implementing health education for people living with HIV in partial viral suppression with a view to rescuing adherence to antiretroviral therapy. Methods: Convergent Care Research carried out with 13 HIV-infected people, with partial viral suppression. Through the stages of conception, instrumentation, scrutiny and analysis, the reasons for treatment failures were identified, health education was implemented and the process was analyzed with interviews and content analysis. The educational process took place with the support of educational technology: Educational Material on HIV (INPI: BR 10 2020 003765 0). Results: Treatment failures were due to the following reasons: side effects, prejudice, family problems, difficulty in accessing the health service and forgetfulness. Three categories emerged from the speeches after the intervention: 1- Awakening to the importance of the correct use of antiretroviral therapy; 2- Feelings arising from the educational process; 3- Knowledge and overcoming social stigmas. Conclusion: Educational technology, added to the choice of participatory research as a method, provided learning for all involved, making it possible to perceive the importance of strengthening the teaching-service bond, the use of dialogue in the context of collectivity and investigative convergence for care practice.
