| Sumario: | The study aims to analyze the perceptions and meanings of HIV/aids among family health workers. It is a qualitative research, developed with the 14 professionals of the multiprofessional team of the Family Health Strategy in a city of São Paulo. The data were collected by semi-structured interview and interpreted by content analysis. Three categories of analysis were constructed. 1. Relationship with care in which HIV/aids refers to the condition of abnormality; 2. Individual, family and social impact marked by prejudice and judgment by the form of contagion and 3. HIV/aids and sexuality in prevails as a cause of contamination the illicit sexual acts and the amount of partners, as well as blaming the person to acquire the condition. It is observed a predominance of the permanence of group concepts and risk behavior. Despite changes in the epidemiological profile of the disease over time and the introduction of antiretroviral therapy, professionals reproduce and carry stigmatizing perceptions resulting in falsely modified discourses that bring to the surface primary symbolisms of infection related to incorrectness, fear, and prejudice. The perception and meanings attributed can reflect in their care practice impacting on the effectiveness of integral health care. |
