Resumo: | Among improvements, setbacks and resurfacings aids poses a challenge to civil
society and academic and scientific communities, presenting itself as a public health
worldwide problem which demands reflection, coping strategies and participation of the
actors involved. It is a disease characterized by a serious dysfunction of the immune
system infected by the HIV as the TCD4+ lymphocytes are destroyed (Brasil, 2008). The
number of infected people in Brazil has risen again (UNAIDS, 2016) and
the detection rates among men in the last ten years has shown a tendency of
growth (Brasil, 2018). Studies about men and masculinities have gained relevance in
what concerns gender in the last two decades in the country and the focus on the relation
man-health has been a point of interest in the academic environments and service
contexts. In this sense, this study intends to understand experiences of emotional
suffering of heterosexual men self-referred as HIV/Aids positive. We conducted a
qualitative research with the collaboration of 4 men ages between 20 and 49 being
attended to at the Specialized Assistance Service in HIV/Aids at
the Giselda Trigueiro Hospital, located in Natal/RN. The study was based on
the Gadamerian Hermeneutics and the Narrative Interview using Projective Scenes used
as tool. Through the dialogue with the narratives we came up with the following
chapters: The construction of masculinities, which addresses this process understanding it
based on a socio-historical perspective. The meaning of what it is to be a man revealed
the coexistence among hegemonic standards and new masculinities; HIV/Aids: a history
of fears and prejudice in which we bring the history of aids and the meaning of it to the
collaborators, shifting between fear of death and of
prejudice; Living with HIV/Aids: when hell is other people one must keep their secret
until the end, in which we discuss the self-righteous and prejudiced view cast
on PLWHA, generating their obsession with the secret of their condition, the pain of selfimposed loneliness and other fears (become sick and be discovered), besides coping
strategies (use of drugs, work, humor, music, keeping the secret and the matter of
spirituality and religiosity); Psychology and the PLWHA: between ignorance, care and
the ethical-political commitment, in which we address the relation between psychology
and the PLWHA, approaching the unfamiliarity with this knowledge/activity and the
access of men to psychology services, as well as addressing the (un)known necessities
and unseen hardships in the psychology care, ending with the reflection on the clinical
and ethical-political commitment in face of the challenges posed by this scenario. By
problematizing questions related to these men’s experiences, this study makes
specificities of the emotional suffering they live visible and reveals their necessity of
care, contributing to the promotion of a psychology that is ethically and politically
engaged with the assistance given to the PLWHA, aiming to break excluding and
stigmatizing paradigms in order to establish solidarity, welcoming and appreciation of
these lives, not letting them perish by discrimination and stigmatization. We hope to
contribute to promote a committed psychology that walks towards the building of
stronger bonds that recognize the right to be different. Acts based on these principles
produce life! |
