A socio-demographic questionnaire, Hamilton Depression Scale and Beck anxiety scale were used. There was descriptive and inferential statistical analysis with KRUSKL Wallis tests and T test, considering significant when p ≤ 0.05. Results: It was identified that 64% were men, 70% heterosexual, 50% had between 20 and 30 years and 90% contracted HIV by sexual contact, 42% had depression and 52% had minimal anxiety.
