Abstract:

This article analyzes the trajectories of 85 women living with HIV / aids in six Brazilian cities, Belém, São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, Goiânia, Recife and Pelotas, aiming to grasp some specific aspects of their experiences before and after diagnosis. It is based in in-depth interviews conducted in 2009 addressing women with HIV status knowledge ranging from 1 to 20 years. The results show a profile characterized by limited access to school, health services and labor, besides the presence of violence prior the infection. The reasons to make the anti HIV test vary over time and there is an increase in prenatal testing, although apparently no modifications in the context of the infection. For some women, the diagnosis determines changes in the life course. However, for the most, social and labor experiences and the decisions about love, sexuality and reproduction seem to respond to their immediate demands and opportunities. The management of the diagnosis and the support received influence the life with HIV/aids. These results show the need for prevention and testing efforts not restricted to pregnant women, even in a context of concentrated epidemic. Studies adopting a biographical perspective can contribute to prevent or improve life with HIV/aids appropriate to the different moments of the women trajectories.
