Aim
To evaluate the quality of life and the nursing diagnoses of women with AIDS.
Methods
Cross-sectional study involving 70 women with AIDS in outpatient follow-up.

They presented intermediate quality of life in all domains of the scale and 14 nursing diagnoses were found, especially the Pattern of Ineffective Sexuality, Fear and Death Related Anxiety.
