NASCIMENTO, Patrícia Chaves do  and  KIND, Luciana. Posithive narratives: vulnerability of women to HIV / aids in heterosexual conjugality relationships. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2018, vol.24, e18957.  Epub Nov 15, 2018. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.26512/lc.v24i0.18957.

The aim of this paper is to present a research on the vulnerability to HIV / AIDS in narratives of women who have become HIV positive in heterosexual conjugality relationships. The research had a qualitative design, and was guided by methodological principles of narrative inquiry, combining strategies of data production: critical bibliographical research; participant observation; narrative interviews; and field notes. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed with the support of qualitative data analysis software (ATLAS.ti), articulating the tools of narrative analysis in the thematic, structural and dialogical-performative perspectives. The results demonstrate that narratives are rich sources of data on vulnerabilities classified as individual, social and programmatic in government sources and academic literature. These vulnerabilities permeate the daily lives of women in conjugal relationships and have against the backdrop of gender inequalities.

Keywords : Narratives; Women; Vulnerabilities; HIV/AIDS.
