Title in Portuguese
Vivenciando a gravidez e experienciando a soropositividade para o HIV.
Keywords in Portuguese
gênero
mulher e AIDS
representação social
saúde reprodutiva
sexualidade
Abstract in Portuguese
O estudo buscou identificar e interpretar as concepções sobre AIDS, reveladas através das representações sociais de mulheres grávidas soropositivas e seus companheiros. Os eixos teóricos foram a Teoria das Representações Sociais e Gênero. Optou-se pela abordagem qualitativa, por ser capaz de revelar valores, símbolos e representações, permitindo a captação e a valorização das subjetividades. Foram entrevistadas(os) oito gestantes e dois companheiros. A articulação gravidez e soropositividade para o HIV emergiu em três dimensões: o processo de inclusão-exclusão social na saúde reprodutiva, a vulnerabilidade feminina ao HIV/AIDS e o próprio processo de vivenciar a gravidez [representada socialmente como vida] e a soropositividade para o HIV [representada socialmente como morte]. Os resultados revelaram a subalternidade de gênero como determinante da vulnerabilidade à infecção pelo HIV; a vivência da gravidez reforçando a concepção idealizada de maternidade, muito mais valorizada que a soropositividade, chegando a superá-la através da resignificação da doença, das suas conseqüências e do conhecimento da AIDS como uma das formas para o seu enfrentamento. A soropositividade contribuiu para aderência ao tratamento e adoção de medidas preventivas em relação ao agravamento das suas condições de saúde-doença e dos seus filhos em gestação.

Abstract in English
The aim of this study was to identify and interpret the conceptions concerning AIDS revealed by the social representations of HIV-positive pregnant woman and their partners. The conceptual basis was oriented by the Theory of Social Representations and Gender. The choice of a qualitative approach was made to reveal values, symbols and representations, to valorize and deal with subjectivities. Eight pregnant women and two of their partners were interviewed. The joint occurrence of pregnancy with HIV positivity was studied along three dimensions: the process of social inclusion/exclusion in reproductive health, the feminine vulnerability to HIV/AIDS, and the process of experiencing pregnancy (represented socially as life) concomitantly with HIV positivity (represented socially as death). The results revealed the subordinate role of the female gender as a determinate of vulnerability to infection by HIV; the experience of pregnancy reinforcing the idealized conception of maternity, outweighing their HIV positivity to the point of surmounting it by attaching a new meaning to the disease and its consequences, and through knowledge of AIDS as one form of facing up to it. HIV positivity contributed to adherence with the treatment and the adoption of preventative measures in regard to their states of sickness/health and that of their unborn children.
