Aim: to know the final undergraduate paper productions on HIV/AIDS in the Nursing Undergraduate Course of the Federal University of Santa Catarina from 1990 to 2017. Method: qualitative research, social-historical, of documented sources on the subject of HIV/AIDS in the Undergraduate Nursing Course of UFSC. Results: Of the 773 final undergraduate papers found, 25 (3.23%) were in the subject area. Studies aimed at the care of HIV patients, adolescent health promotion, and the risks of health professionals were identified. Final considerations: it was observed that the subject is still little investigated in final undergraduate papers, despite the increase in the last three years. It is necessary to carry out researches that contribute to the reduction of the disease’s social stigma and that can help in promoting and preventing the health of the population.
