AIDS as transferable and lethal illness, for which any curative or prophylactic vaccine is known, is at the present time a very high risk for humanity since it can affects any person, independently of people's natural characteristics or socio-economic conditions. This bibliographical revision is carried out with the objective to emphasize some social aspects in the epidemiologist of the infection, the social vulnerability and conditions that mediatize this illness in women and men who have sex with other men (MSM) and the psychosocial variables that intercede in the adoption of protector behaviours for health. Once culminated, we could know that social processes joint to biological processes take a decisive part in the infection by HIV, that the most vulnerable groups are constituted by women and MSM, and those psychosocial variables that influence in the adoption of healthy behaviours exist

Keywords : AIDS; SOCIAL ASPECTS; EPIDEMIOLOGY; SOCIAL FACTORS OF RISK; WOMAN; MSM.
