The society itself, shows repudiation towards these people although they often have some knowledge about the behavior of this disease. OBJECTIVE: To determine the knowledge and attitudes that health personnel have about HIV / AIDS, at the Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso in 2016. METHODOLOGY: This is a qualitative - descriptive cross-sectional study directed at all health personnel of the Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso employing a sample of 279 people. The information was collected through questionnaires, HIV-65 and Multicomponent Scale of Phobia to AIDS. A database was created in the SPSS software version 19.0. RESULTS: Both correct and erroneous knowledge about HIV / AIDS are very high, the mean was above 95% correct answers. Positive, negative attitudes and self-efficacy showed high values. There are stigmatizing behaviors in relation to AIDS. CONCLUSIONS: The results showed that although knowledge is high on HIV / AIDS, there are unpredictable discrimination and phobia behaviors among health personnel.
