This article presents a brief review of the history of Aids epidemic, analyzing tendencies, stigma, prejudice, factors of social, economic and cultural vulnerability, gender relations and points out the answers to that disease given by Brazilian social movements and government of Brazil. In the area of sexuality and the safe sexual practice, we identify some difficulties that women experience: the negotiation about the condom use, lack of autonomy and empowerment, gender violence and lack of awareness about the risk of women become infected by HIV. All this strengthened by a sexist culture that has denied women s right to experience their sexuality in a free way, making them increasingly vulnerable to HIV/AIDS.
