“…Although the HIV/AIDS policy has emerged as a secondary policy within the Unified Health System (SUS), and was initially established at the local level, it was after centralized at the federal level through the STD-AIDS National Program (NP) which deepened SUS basic elements, such as universalization (mainly through free access to medicines and preventive devices), equity (by focusing on actions with vulnerable and stigmatized groups) and comprehensives (by aggregating prevention, care and treatment). 3 In addition, the exclusion of classical barriers of access to services, such as mandatory identification of users, has been reported as an important requirement to stimulate diagnosis and search for services. 10 In this study, user embracement was also considered favorable by most professionals of the service.…”

Objective:To evaluate the quality of care provided for people with HIV/AIDS at the Reference Center for the treatment of AIDS in Natal-RN, in the health professionals' perspective. Methods: Evaluative and quantitative research conducted in a public hospital in Natal/RN, from August 2010 to July 2011, through structured interviews with professionals who provide care for people with HIV. Results: The evaluation of the service was considered satisfactory by 58.8% of respondents, standing on nine indicators: support offered by the service, convenience of service hours, host, provided guidance on treatment, timeliness of health professionals, availability of antiretroviral drugs, availability of laboratory tests, professional/user relationship and ease of access to service. Conclusion: There was no significant difference in satisfaction with the indicators: punctuality of professionals, convenience of service timetables and availability of laboratory tests.

“…Desde os anos 1980, a epidemia provocada pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana/síndrome de imunodeficiência adquirida (HIV/aids) tem envolvido uma ampla mobilização da sociedade civil e de pesquisadores, trabalhadores e gestores da área da saúde na perspectiva de produzirem respostas efetivas e eficientes ao quadro geral de adoecimento, morte e estigmatização das populações afetadas pelo vírus. Nesse contexto, as respostas das políticas públicas nas arenas da saúde e social têm se constituído como um desafio para a saúde pública mundial mesmo depois de quase 40 anos de epidemia 1,2,3 .…”
Resumo: Esta etnografia objetivou compreender a experiência de profissionais da saúde que trabalham em um Serviço de Atenção Especializada em HIV/aids num contexto de área remota, no Nordeste brasileiro. Para a coleta de dados, utilizaram-se observação participante e entrevista semiestruturada com sete profissionais que compunham a equipe do serviço estudado. Por meio da técnica de codificação temática, obtiveram-se três categorias: “eu não sabia nem o que era”: aspectos do vir a ser profissional especializado em HIV/aids; “está todo mundo lá meio que escondido”: estratégias de enfrentamento à (in)visibilidade do status sorológico; e “a gente vive em cima da corda bamba”: experiências no processo de trabalho. O aspecto mais relevante deste estudo diz respeito à invisibilidade institucional do serviço como reflexo da atual configuração do dispositivo da aids no Brasil. Os resultados assinalaram algumas dificuldades próprias de serviços localizados em áreas remotas, notadamente a inexperiência dos profissionais e seu agravamento pela carência de educação permanente, necessidades infraestruturais, o lugar das ações de saúde em HIV/aids na agenda política local e a centralidade do fazer médico na organização do processo de trabalho. Destacou-se, ainda, a agência dos interlocutores na produção de estratégias de enfrentamento dessas dificuldades. Este estudo acrescenta ao ressaltar a dimensão local como um marcador social da diferença que modelava as experiências dos interlocutores, pois é ali onde as diretrizes e os princípios da política de saúde são performados por profissionais, gestores e usuários compondo materialidades diversas.
