Abstract

Objective: to analyze the evidence in the national and international literature about barriers to accessing health care for adolescents living with the human immunodeficiency virus and/or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. Methods: integrative review without restriction of years of publications, conducted in Science Direct, Web of Science, CINAHL, Scopus, PubMed, LILACS, Virtual Health Library, EMBASE and MEDLINE databases. Two search strategies were used with the descriptors: Adolescent, Health Services Accessibility, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome and HIV. Results: 7371 studies were identified, 92 were selected for full reading, and four articles made up the final sample. The main barriers to access were fear of recognition, lack of empathy in care and little flexibility in service hours. Conclusion: fear, stigma and discrimination interfere with access to health services for adolescents negatively in the lives of the young people in question harming them in their protection and in the possibility of staying healthy.
