Objective: to compare HIV and AIDS management directed at Brazilian and Chilean adolescents. Method: documentary study applying a qualitative approach, with analysis of official and publicly available documents focused on HIV and AIDS care among adolescents from Brazil and Chile, and examined using content analysis. Results: similarities and differences were found between the health systems of the countries, especially related to the way in which HIV and AIDS treatment is provided, as well as the work process of the nurse in the diagnosis and follow-up of HIV and AIDS among adolescents. Both respond to the guidelines provided by the World Health Organization regarding management of HIV and AIDS for adolescents. Final considerations: although there are similarities related to belonging to a similar geographic region, differences were found in the care provided to adolescents living with HIV, mainly in structuring the health systems, in care management related to the diagnosis and follow-up of adolescents, as well as in nursing work.
