Resumo
Apesar dos grandes avanços no que se refere ao tratamento, questões de cunho social continuam a impactar nas pessoas com VIH, vítimas, ainda hoje, de termos depreciativos que renovam os preconceitos. Este estudo apresenta os resultados de um estudo descritivo de cariz misto que pretendia compreender se os indivíduos vivenciaram situações de discriminação nas relações formais e informais após o conhecimento da doença. A recolha de dados foi efetuada através de um questionário do Google Forms aplicado a 10 pessoas que vivem com VIH e que são acompanhados na Associação Abraço, no serviço do CAAP. Nos 10 indivíduos inquiridos o sentimento de discriminação é mais presente em pouco menos de metade (4 casos), a exceção do campo de trabalho onde não existiu à vontade por parte da maioria para partilhar o seu diagnóstico, provavelmente com medo da discriminação e outras consequência que daí poderiam advir. Estes resultados poderão estar relacionados com o facto dos indivíduos inquiridos já terem o diagnóstico há algum tempo, o que pode levar a uma atitude mais tranquila e informada perante a situação e a uma distância temporal face aos sentimentos que tiveram aquando da partilha do seu diagnóstico. Apesar disso não podemos deixar de salientar, por um lado, a existência nos grupos mais informais e íntimos de situações de discriminação, a ausência de informação sobre o diagnóstico no contexto laboral e, por outro lado, a ideia que a discriminação associada a falta.
Despite the significant advances in treatment, social issues continue to have an impact on people with HIV, who are still the victims of on people with HIV, who are still victims of derogatory terms that renew prejudice. This study presents the results of a descriptive study of mixed descriptive study that aimed to understand whether individuals experienced situations of discrimination in formal and informal relationships after learning about the disease. Data was collected using a Google Forms questionnaire applied to 10 people living with to 10 people living with HIV who are followed up at the Abraço Association in the CAAP service. Of the 10 individuals surveyed, the feeling of discrimination is present in just under half of them (4 cases), except the labour camp, where the majority didn't feel comfortable sharing their diagnosis, probably for fear of discrimination and other consequences. These results could be related to the fact that the individuals surveyed had been diagnosed for some time. This could lead to a more relaxed and informed attitude towards the situation and a time distance from their feelings when sharing their diagnosis. Despite this, we can't help but highlight the existence of situations of discrimination in the most informal and intimate groups, the lack of information about the diagnosis in the workplace and, on the other hand, the idea that discrimination is associated with a lack of (or wrong) information, so increasing information to the general population could be a strategy to combat discrimination
