Abstract

This article offers a reflection, from an ethical point of view, on the linking of the community interventions and the comprehensive health care for people living with HIV. It begins reviewing the concepts of moral, ethics and bioethics, and also the surroundings of the community interventions as a final strategy in improving the community health. The comprehensive health care is assessed through surveillance actions as health promotion, disease prevention, monitoring and damage control; it also includes providing care aimed to people´s health recovery and rehabilitation, with cultural pertinence and gender approach and an ethic component, ensuring the adequate functioning of the community interventions and the comprehensive health care.
