Abstract

ResumoEste artigo é fruto de pesquisa empírica cujo objetivo foi conhecer como mulheres HIV-positivo vivem seu cotidiano após o diagnóstico. Intencionamos assinalar alguns dos aspectos relativos à descoberta de estar soropositivo, bem como de aspectos referentes ao compartilhamento da soropositividade. Realizou-se pesquisa qualitativa, recorrendo a entrevistas semiestruturadas com mulheres usuárias de um Centro de Testagem e Aconselhamento em DST/Aids. Com base na perspectiva da psicologia social crítica e das produções de autores cujo foco é a história da saúde, procedemos à análise de conteúdo. As categorias de análise elencadas foram: a) descobrindo a soropositividade; b) compartilhar ou não compartilhar; e c) a relação do casal depois do diagnóstico. O estudo confirma o desafio de compartilhar, ou não, a sorologia. Também salienta o preconceito ainda persistente no espaço de trabalho e acentua a importância dos serviços de saúde públicos de referência de HIV/aids no enfrentamento da epidemia. Palavras-chave: psicologia social; promoção da saúde; HIV/Aids; mulheres. Sharing the HIV/AIDS diagnosis: a study with women AbstractThis article derives from an empirical research, whose aim was to understand how HIV-positive women live their daily lives after diagnosis. We intend to signal some of the aspects of becoming aware of being seropositive as well aspects of disclosure. We conducted a qualitative research design using semi-structured interviews with women attending a Center for STD/AIDS Counseling and Testing. Based on the perspective of Critical Social Psychology and on the productions of authors whose focus is on the History of Health, we proceeded with content analysis. The analysis categories listed were: (a) Discovering seropositivity (b) Sharing or not sharing, and (c) The relationship of the couple after the diagnosis. The study confirms the challenge of sharing or not the serology. It also emphasises the persistent bias at the workplace and stresses the importance of STD/AIDS public health services.

“…Moreover, this same study shows that the most of women say that the love for their children is the great incentive for the struggle for their lives, and the adherence to treatments is performed by the desire to stay as long as possible with their offspring. 12,18 Some of these women relate pregnancy and the child to religiosity, because they believe they have been seen by God, because the child was born healthy, since motherhood represents for them an opportunity to live with different ideals, involved by perseverance and trust in life. 12 A study has found the relevance of religiosity and spirituality in the lives of women living with HIV as a coping strategy, as well as helping to promote life expectancy.…”
