A AIDS é uma infecção causada pelo Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana (HIV), constituindo-se atualmente em um dos grandes problemas de saúde pública do mundo. O presente estudo, de natureza qualitativa, tem por objetivo analisar as concepções deestudantes de Enfermagem da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana sobre HIV/AIDS, bem como identificar o grau de contribuição acadêmica no tocante a esta temática. Um questionário foi aplicado entre doze formandos de Enfermagem, no período de setembro a outubro de 2006. Os resultados mostraram que os universitários têm conhecimento geralsobre HIV/AIDS, mas necessitam de maior aprofundamento nos aspectos de transmissão, meios de prevenção e tratamento. A pesquisa mostra que esta temática é rodeada de medos,anseios, dúvidas e necessita ser debatida com mais veemência no espaço universitário, antes, durante e após as vivencias acadêmicas dos estudantes.
The article presents the result of a qualitative research registered in the scope of the (auto) biographical method, which had as one of its objectives to analyze the constructions of gender and sexuality in the life of five graduates in Biological Sciences, focusing on the role and the influence of the family and religiosity in the constitution of these individuals. The methodological path is based on (auto) biographical research, using narrative interviews as a way of obtaining information. Based on studies of experience and memory, the narratives of the five graduates reveal stories marked by plural-singular speeches that refer to the constructions of gender and sexuality throughout their lives, in different social instances, such as family and religious institution. The analysis of the narratives was carried out through approximations with the Comprehensive-Interpretative Analysis Method. The interviewees narratives reveal the influence of norms and values that are built in the different family arrangements presented by the interviewees' families of origin, which are fundamental in the process of building the subjectivity of the individual, as well as religious influence, considering religious institution as a possible space of living together and formation on interviewees's life.
