Resumo:
Este trabalho objetiva suscitar desconfianças ao valor atribuído à verdade médica presente na literatura biomédica. Tomou-se como exemplo a temática da proteção das práticas sexuais e recorreu-se às obras de pensadores como Nietzsche, Baudrillard, Bourdieu e principalmente Michel Foucault, a fim de pensarmos que a elaboração e o emprego de informações em saúde podem ser interpretadas como práticas constitutivas de uma política que articula dinamicamente peritos e não-peritos à verdade médica, constitutiva de uma moralidade que se apoia na produção e consumo dessa verdade. Uma política, denominada por Foucault de biopolítica, capaz de estabelecer modos de viver onde o exercício do pensamento parece não ser tão “recompensador”, onde práticas de mando e de obediência a si são mediadas pela informação em saúde. Nesta perspectiva médicos e não-médicos foram seduzidos pela vontade de atingir a verdade, de modo que se verifica o empenho de todos na produção e consumo de enunciados que acreditam poder prolongar a vida e salvá-la do adoecer; discursos cultivados no mercado de uma sociedade midiática, onde o controle dos indivíduos pela informação produz subjetividades que se ancoram no binômio: verdade médica-capital.

Abstract:
This article aims to arouse suspicions to the value attributed to medical truth present in the biomedical literature. It was taken as example the issue of protection of sexual practices and turned to the works of thinkers like Nietzsche, Baudrillard, Bourdieu and especially Michel Foucault in order to thinking that the elaboration and use of health information can be interpreted as pratices constituting a political that articulates dynamically experts and non-experts to the truth, constituting a morality that is based on the production and consumption this. A policy that foucault called biopolitics, able to establish ways of living where the exercise of thought does not seem to be as "rewarding", where practices of command and obedience to itself are mediated by health information. In this perspective, medical and non-medical it have been seduced by the desire to attain the truth, what is evidenced in the commitment of everyone in the production and use of statements that they believe can prolong life and save it from getting sick; speeches cultivated in a media society market, where the individual‘s control by information produces subjectivities that are anchored in the binomial: medical truth-capital.
