| Resumo: | INTRODUCTION: The emergence of a new disease in the early 1980s, identified by
the acronym Aids (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), has brought about
significant changes in many fields beyond health, mainly by combining sexual behavior
and disease, giving greater visibility to issues related to sexuality , considering the
sexual route, one of the main forms of transmission. The spread of HIV infection (the
human immunodeficiency virus), the cause of AIDS, in Brazil manifested itself as an
epidemic with multiple dimensions resulting from the deep social inequalities of the
country with significant changes in its epidemiological profile. Among these is the
internalization, with the geographical diffusion of the disease from the great urban
centers to the municipalities of the interior of the country. Considering the historical
aspects and the experience as a nurse of a Family Health Center, in the hinterland of
the Brazilian Northeast, this study arose from concerns about how health practices
related to HIV/AIDS reproduced, in this service, the marginalization and invisibility of
the people living with this condition. OBJECTIVE: To understand the place of
HIV/AIDS in health practices in the daily life of a Family Health Center (FHC) in the
Brazilian Northeast. METHODOLOGY: This is an ethnography, whose fieldwork
carried out between July and November of 2018 in a FHC of the municipality of
Caicó/RN. The participants involved were the professionals that make up the two
family health teams of the FHC. Participant observation, semi-structured interviews,
and sociodemographic questionnaire were used. Data were analyzed using the
thematic coding technique. RESULTS: The analysis pointed to the invisibility and
social erasure of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) in the territory of this service,
being associated with: prejudice; the absence of private spaces between professionals
and these people; and the continuing education of professionals to deal with the
HIV/AIDS condition. Another result was the evidence of the social markers of
difference: sexuality, gender, and the context of the place of study as potentiators of
issues that reinforce and shape local prejudice and stigma. And, lastly, the difficulty of
professionals with work directed at both PLHA and HIV/AIDS in general, possibly being
the result of moral values, associated with the absence of permanent education and a
municipal health program focused on these issues. CONCLUSION: The approach to
the theme provided an overview of an important issue on HIV/AIDS, signaling a fragility
of a Primary Care specific health unit to incorporate into its services interventions that
address PLHA and the multiple dimensions of HIV/AIDS. Developing the research
made possible changes in my view as a professional before limited and restricted to
official protocols and manuals. The study becomes a fuel for the path of professional
transformation that I have not yet fully attained, but which has already been aware that
there is a long way ahead, besides, it has provided instruments that allow me to be a
multiplier agent. Finally, it contributes to the discussion of the topic and the current
political scenario associated with public health. |
