Objective: Exploring the universe of experiences that involves the process of becoming adolescent with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Methods: The participants were six teenagers with knowledge of their positive HIV diagnosis, with ages between 11 to 14 years old, and were treated in a hospital in southern Brazil. The information was collected through the use of the Human Figure Drawing and further survey. The analysis was performed according to the criteria of Classical Content Analysis. Results: Projections were observed of/about human figures with age and characteristics similar to theirs. The concerns are related to professional uncertainties and the possibility of becoming orphans. The family group and friends play an important role in the consolidation of ties and social support, being expressed, in most cases, as positive aspects. Conclusion: Combining the Human Figure Drawing with subsequent investigation proved to be important in building rapport and as a means of establishing ties.
