Objective: to analyze nurses' social representations about HIV care in primary health care, using a structural approach. Method: descriptive, exploratory study, with a qualitative approach and structural character, with 160 nurses, from December 2019 to March 2020, in family health units in the city of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. Semi-structured interviews were carried out, using the Free Word Association Technique, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Data were processed by the IRAMUTEQ software, anchored by the Theory of Social Representations. Research protocol approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Results: the stimulus to the inducing question originated 188 different words with a minimum frequency of five evocations and a maximum of 64. Terms associated with subjective factors are expressively observed. Final considerations: it was shown that the social representations related to HIV are relevant and diverse, related to the role of nurses in the care provided to people living with HIV.
