Intervention
The intervention group will be submitted to four social-psychological individual sessions with a pre-trained health professional.
Social-psycho intervention to improve adherence to HAART

In principle, such an approach provides a tool for conscientization, action and the invention of novel group and individual repertoires that may result in individual mobilization for improving adherence to treatment and reducing his/her vulnerability.
Control
The control group will be submitted to the usual care of the health service.
