Abstract

The first AIDS cases appeared at the begining of 1980s provoking fear reactions, prejudice and impotence on the population and also on the scientific community. Epidemical studies indicated, in that time, a larger number of cases incidence among homosexual individuals demonstrating, at the beginning, a relationship between the illness cases and the group integrals marginal behaviour historically. Parallel, clinical investigations demonstrated immunology weakness among the onset individuals and conducted the researches to find out an infectious agent, HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). Changes on the form of understanding and describing the HIV/AIDS epidemic followed these processes and at the end turned into considering material and subjective conditions of life as structural elements of the vulnerability among women and its effects for the prevention practices. This study searched to identify, concerning to HIV-positive pregnant women, considering their married, family and social relationship life history, familiarity with positive serum, reproductive health and maternity experience, analysing them under a perspective of female gender vulnerability relations. Individual interviews with ten HIV-positive pregnant women, who were pre-natal assisted in a gynaecology and obstetrics infectious deseases ambulatory (AMIGO) in Hospital das Clinicas da Faculadae de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto USP (HCFMRP-USP), a public health service as well as a reference for the region, were carried out. The results show that difficulties to the power distribution on gender relations and precariousness conditions of life are structural elements of HIV vulnerabity; yet there is a break of social relations and life perspectivity discontinuity due to prejudice and fear of death coming from the positivity serum and also an effort to redeem their children's care, besides strategies to reorganize their lives' occurences that will appear together with facing the contagion process. In the majority of the analysed cases, these women recognize themselves as being her partner's actions, victims, blaming them for the contagion. Practice structures needs, in health attendance to these women, are pointed out, considering the necessity to reenforce their cognitive and affective resources, in order to face contagion vicissitudes and consequently rapture with the naturalization as victims. Among the strategies to the reenforcement of these women, the discussion of their appropriation contagion process as well as the assumed male superiority tacit acceptance problematic and families' and husbands' demandings are proposals to female passiviness as an element of women vulnerability, besides weakening preventive practices (CAPES).

“…Experienciar a maternidade em conjunto com a soropositividade é fator gerador de dúvidas, medos e provavelmente parte deste medo seja proveniente das novidades relacionadas à maternidade e a possibilidade de contaminação do filho.
