Robrac: revista odontologica do Brasil Central, Goiânia, v. 24, n. 68, p. 26-30, 2015.0104-7914http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/18940Aim: The aim of the study was to analyze collective decisions published by the Goiás Court of Justice (TJGO) of lawsuits brought against service providers who issued false positive result on HIV test. Materials and methods: The search was proceeded into TJGO database, seeking civil appellate judgments whose entire contents contemplate the scope of the study (eleven judgments were found). Results: It was noted that false-positive results resulted from screening tests for HIV (100%). Patients were not informed about the possibility of false-positive (54.5%), generating the judicial action. The moral damage has been requested in all actions, being upheld at 54.5% in 1st instance and 72.7% in the 2nd instance, with average damning value of R$ 25,000,00. The civil liability was considered objective in 75% of the actions that resulted in conviction in 2nd instance. Conclusion: It was concluded that the moral and material damages arising from erroneous diagnosis of HIV have been legally required and present a trend towards conviction at first instance and maintenance of this trial in the 2nd instance.porAcesso AbertoInfecções por HIVDireitos civisSoropositividade para HIVLegislação e jurisprudênciaHIV infectionsCivil rightsHIV seropositivityLegislation and jurisprudenceArtigo
