The present search has with mean aim to examine how AIDS was constructed as a social cause. It investigates more particularly the process by which the disease has become a public issue, for that AIDS was analyzed into its 30 years of struggle, starting with its appearance in the media until the institutionalization of the cause. To reach this goal, bibliographic resources, interviews and internet material were used - namely - collection of magazine, webites that reported the creation of institutions and interviews with informants-key were made to understand the trajectory of militants "sergipanos". The dissertation is divided into three stages, the first is the resumption of an analysis of the emergence of AIDS in Brazil, with the performance of the gay movement, the State interference for prevention and treatment, the creation of NGOs dedicated exclusively to fighting disease and a brief analysis of the trajectory of two militants, Daniel Herbert and Herbert de Souza, important actors in the national political struggle and in this case, more specifically in fighting AIDS as HIV positive. The second point refers to the arrival of AIDS in Sergipe and how it was being handled by the institutions and governments, pioneering actions and measures taken to fight the disease. Finally, the third and final chapter analyzes three modes of engagement in the fight against AIDS, the first through professionalization, then how multi engagement led to fighting AIDS, and finally, how the disease makes a militant arise. Thus, this work may examine the fight against AIDS in a diversity, making a resumption of key moments to understand how AIDS has become a social problem and, how around this problem, has emerged a struggle that became increasingly institutionalized.
