RESUMO

The changes that the HIV/AIDS epidemic has undergone especially in relation to the improvements on the quality of life of seropositive people have generated new actions in relation to the disease. The Family Health Strategy (FHS) is characterized as a primary care public policy aimed at reorienting the health system emphasizing the production of the complete care. In this context, the Communitarian Health Agent (CHA) emerges as an important actor in the interface between community and health service. The objective of the present study is to describe meanings produced by the group with communitarian health agents in relation to HIV/AIDS. To do so, three one-session group interviews with three communitarian health agents team from three Family Health Units of the city of Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil were performed. The groups were audio-recorded and transcribed in full. One group-interview session was selected for a deep analysis. This session was analyzed at the light of the social constructionism, which considers that the realities and meanings are constructed based on relation between people, and that language is understood within its performative character as a social practice. For the analysis process, an immersion into the transcribed material was initially performed. After reflecting on some of the possible meanings, a topic of interest was selected, namely: the negotiation and construction process of meanings in relation to the work of the HIV/AIDS communitarian health agent. Through this process, one searched to make the conversational processes clear by emphasizing interactions, negotiations of meanings and constructions in relation to the enunciations? change potential. In the final considerations, two aspects were delimited based on reflections on the construction of the work at the primary care level in relation to HIV/AIDS namely: (a) the possibility of looking at social voices present in the group and in the health actions, thus contributing for the reflections on the meanings about HIV/AIDS and sexuality; (b) the changes based on the interaction and on the negotiations of meanings in relation to matters of gender and prevention. The possibility of negotiating meanings has recalled diversity as well as the importance of considering multiplicity in health. This analysis has enabled the description of some meanings in relation to HIV/AIDS in the Family Health Strategy context. We consider that, when group conversations are analyzed with communitarian health agent professionals, we are contributing for reflections on primary care actions in relation to those who live with HIV/AIDS.
