Introduction:

In recent years the Acquired Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has become a major challenge for society due to the magnitude and extent of the damage caused to populations, especially adolescents.

Objective:

To analyze the contextual aspects of nursing care for adolescents in situations of vulnerability to HIV.

Method:

This is a narrative literature review with a search carried out in the databases Elsevier SciVerse Scopus, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences and Google Scholar, in the period of December 20, 2020 to January 20, 2021. The material was analyzed in accordance with the theoretical contribution proposed by Hinds, Chaves and Cypress, which indicates four layers of interrelated contextual relationships that better understand the phenomenon: immediate, specific, general and metacontextual.

Results:

Eight studies were selected, categorized into sub-themes according to each context: adolescents in a situation of vulnerability to HIV/Aids (immediate context); the insertion of adolescents vulnerable to HIV/Aids in Primary Health Care (specific context); nursing care for adolescents in situations of vulnerability to HIV/Aids in Primary Health Care (general context); and public policies aimed at adolescents in situations of vulnerability to HIV/Aids (metacontext). Conclusion: It can be concluded that understanding the phenomena allows for greater reflection on the reality studied in order to improve nursing care in the face of the problems encountered.
