Introduction: In the care of pregnant women with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), it is often not clear who these patients are, how they
behave in the face of diagnosis and pregnancy, how they live their disease, what it means for them to carry a child at risk, as well as the possibility of
spreading the virus and not being able to breastfeed. Objective: To analyze the life memories of pregnant women with AIDS. Methods: This qualitative
cartographic study sought to trace, touch, and understand what these women feel or remember about their lives through life narratives. Results: The sample
consisted of ten women whose narratives generated three categories of living in the different life stages. The study produced a concentration of 515 units of
analysis and analyzed 160 statements, with 11 themes related to memories about family dynamics and its problems. Conclusion: We expect to contribute
to the renewal of the practice, discourse, and language, as an exclusive work and teaching network about the importance of listening to the human being
when obtaining data outside our area of knowledge
