Abstract:

This study aims to analyze the linkage to HIV/AIDS treatment among men who have sex with men (MSM) of the project \"A Hora é Agora\", in the city of Curitiba - Paraná State. The concept of vulnerability with its three axes: individual, social and programmatic, were considered as theoretical reference. The starting point was the concept of vulnerability and its three axes: individual, social and programmatic. The barrierstesting up to the beginning of the treatment were mapped through linkage registration and notessupervisory meetings. The data revealed that, at the individual axis, the MSM had difficulties in dealing with the HIV diagnosis, in addition to psychological problems that could cause the delay in starting treatment. Considering the social axis, stigma/discrimination was identified in care at the Basic Health Units and in the families, delaying the disclosure of serology. Lastly, on the programmatic axis, the MSM found barriers in accessing the health services due to: requests to repeat the HIV test; changing doctors related to poor service; and difficulties in conducting further examinations, which reflected negatively in health care. In order to overcome these barriers, it is recommended not only a macro-structural work within this group, but also an investment in the micropolitics, which will enable a real change of attitude, continued care, and a stance related to approaches of care and the defense of life.
