Resumo: |
This thesis examines, in accordance to Jacob Levi Moreno s (1889-1974) theory over Sociometry and Social Service perspectives, the impact HIV has on male homosexuals who have been recently infected and who also keep their syndrome as a secret. According to the Ministry of Health, there are almost 200 thousand people treated with antiretroviral therapy and 600 thousand who are infected by the virus, aware of their infection or not. In this thesis, five individuals who declared themselves as homosexuals and living with HIV/aids were found through the interne in virtual communities. about the disease. Through the investigation of the social atom and the sociometric network when it comes to the HIV syndrome, it was possible to verify noticeable patterns in the individuals behaviour. During the interviews, the virus discovery and the immediate impact such discovery inflicted upon the interviewees lives allowed this paper to tackle subjects such as secrecy (sharing or concealing it to the family, friends), sex and affective life management, professional interference and health care. It has been acknowledged that the discovery about the HIV infection is still impacting, resulting in considerable changes in the life projects. Interestingly enough it is to mention that some of the changes are dealt under a positive light, while the seriousness of the disease is not ignored. The criteria used for revealing their medical condition to their family and friends is affective and the hope for understanding by the interlocutor, who is, in most of the cases, a friend (homosexual or not), one single sibling (even though more siblings are available in the family) and/or significant other (fixed partner or possible relationships). Moreover, they decided not to tell parents to protect them from the suffering, prejudice and stigma the HIV/aids inflicts on them. In the course of time, the infection becomes part of their daily routine as to be considered just an extra factor in their lives. It has been noticed that the most dramatic impact that the HIV promotes is in the affective field, mainly in the sexual and love life. When there is a potential partner, issues such as when and how to reveal the infection is considered the biggest obstacle they face |
