| Sumario: | The aim of the study is to know the social representations about HIV-aids, as well as the management of risk management in the context of the disease's chronicity. Method qualitative based on the Theory of Social Representations. Seven life story interviews were conducted with people who self-reported Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgender, residents of the Federal District, in the period from September 2018 to September 2019, which were analyzed with the Iramuteq software: Descending Hierarchical Classification and Similitude Analysis. Results: Three thematic axes were obtained: the first axis composed of class five showed that everyone is exposed to different types of risks. The second axis demonstrated the confrontation of stigma and difficulties in managing risks in the context of the chronicity of the disease, constituted by the classes three that addressed social exclusion and violence, and class two showed the difficulties and limits of risk management. The third axis composed of classes four and class one portrayed the painful experience of submission to violence and the possibility of death from HIV/AIDS. The negotiation of measures to prevent Sexually Transmitted Infections is the main barrier, together with stigma and exclusion. Conclusions: It is necessary to continue investing in innovative strategies that reinforce the importance of self-care for responsible sexuality, integrated and interrelated to the different stages of the trajectory of life. |
