Abstract:

The study aims to examine the relationship between masculinity, vulnerability and HIV / AIDS, with grounding in narratives of young men belonging to the so-called urban working classes, taking into account not only the meanings attributed to the prevention by these subjects, but also considering the dialectical relationship between individual and society. The conceptual framework includes three main hegemonic masculinity, prevention and vulnerability. This is a qualitative research based on the perspective of dialectical hermeneutics that uses the method of interpretation of meanings. The analysis yielded two main results as: The hegemonic masculinity as a vulnerability factor, myths and prejudices as factors of vulnerability to HIV/AIDS; In terms of conclusion, it reinforces the need for discussion of prevention encompass the need to put in order the day the construction of sex / gender system around which to articulate the social meanings of masculinity and femininity that influence the structural plan of affective sexual relations in general and HIV/AIDS in particular.
