Summary
Social constructivism of AIDS during the past 37 years of the epidemic was built under the biological, social and symbolic sieve of the representation from scientific knowledge associated with common knowledge. The weaknesses that comprised the expression of transsexual gender identity began to incorporate stigmas related to considered “risk groups” and overlapping of socially built prejudices. AIDS may be considered a “social phenomenon”, since, in the course of history, it has been linked to stereotypes about “sex, blood and death”.1. This phenomenon pervades the biological aspect and consists in obvious stigma of the transsexual seropositive population. The ramifications of the prevention of HIV/aids initially consisted in the idea of "risk groups", with a strong inclination to LGBT public. The epidemiology and society considered the "risky behavior" as the main reason for "failure" in prevention; this idea emphasized the guilt of the individual and did not consider the contextual aspects. The concept of vulnerability emerged to explain the susceptibility of all individuals with HIV.[2]
