Abstract:

This essay explores the relationship between diversity and public health by addressing tensions surrounding classifications and recognition in the field of HIV and AIDS policy. It aims to reflect on how classifying and operative categories are articulated within the scope of programmatic responses in relation to the social production of differences and inequalities. To this end, it drawsthe theoretical framework of studies on vulnerability and recognition anda methodology that includes a critical review of the literature on the MSM category and ethnographic material, derivedthe authors\' research and literature review, related to the social movement, research and policies with focus on lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transvestites and transsexuals (LGBT). It recovers the process of construction of the MSM category in the field of HIV and AIDS prevention policies, at the international level, situating political actors and tensions. It problematizes these tensions when analyzing processes of production of political subjects and changes in socio-state relations that involve LGBT. It emphasizes the importance of considering how differences and inequalities emerge in socio-political processes and dedicating studies to improve policies, ensuring an effectively more respectful care in the daily life of health care.
