Abstract

This paper aims at discussing and analyzing both fictional and essayistic works by Herbert Daniel from his return to Brazil after the exile in the beginning of the 1980s until his death due to complications related to AIDS in 1992. Through the analysis of his books, this paper will show that Daniel raises important questions in order to disseminate the prejudice against PLWH – People Living with HIV/AIDS. Daniel also discusses the moral panics the epidemics brought into light and the civil death of PLWH. Daniel’s texts propose a broad and unrestricted dialogue in regards to the prejudice due to the AIDS epidemics creating a detailed description that contributes to a better understanding of the history of AIDS in Brazil.
