The study aimed at evaluating the effects of the educational video use to promote the attachment between HIV positive mother and her son after six months of contact between them.This is an exploratory-descriptive study with a qualitative approach. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews. The sampling was intentional. The plan of analysis consisted of the following steps: the constitution of the corpus, definition of unit analysis, data categorization and analysis through categories. This study showed that, despite the difficulties and obstacles imposed by HIV / AIDS, by the treatment and the doubts present in daily life, HIV mothers develop strategies that enable them to live and better deal with the disease, without forgetting their role as a mother.
