 AB    OBJECTIVE: Design and application of an individualized treatment program
       involving kinetic & physical modalities on osteomuscular, ventilatory &
       neuromuscular conditions, given a physiokinetic support on the quality
       of life of the positive HIV (AIDS) Phase IV patient. METHOD: The
       application of this program was held in two phases: During an
       observatory period on twenty one (21) patients, where the physiokinetic
       alterations were described and the potential use of physical & Kinetic
       modalities. During the practical period of application of this program
       it got results over a population of eleven (11) patients, where and
       evaluation ran over a ventilatory, osteomuscular, and neuromuscular
       conditions before and after treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: There
       were taken patients on stage 3 and 4 (Karnofski). With osteomuscular
       alterations of a 100%, ventilatory on 90.9%, neuromuscular on 18.1%. On
       accordance with the evaluations, individualized programs were applied
       envolving the next modalities: streching 100%, active movilizations
       01.0%, liftingweight movilizations 100%, bronchial & postural drainage
       54.9%, mechanical vibration 45.5%, magnetotherapy 45.5%, pasive
       movilizations 27.2%. With respect to the initial stage the condition was
       improved at 25% on ventilatory conditions, 10.5% on the osteomuscular,
       and on a neuromuscular level, the optimal average were kept up on levels
       of 7.1 sessions by patient an a clear predominance on the kinetic
       modalities applied on 71.41% facing the 28.5% on a physical modalities.
       The tactil relationship between both therapeut-patient increased the
       feeling confidence, giving aceptance, improving the life quality of
       patient. Based on the above exposed we are setting up, the real need for
       an application of preventive programs starting on initial phases of the
       infection practiced by physiotherapist on interdiciplinary groups.
