This paper discusses the articulation between education and health by focusing on the biographical learning that subjects take from illness namely from the experience with HIV, analyzing through their narratives published in Revista Saber Viver, section "Conte sua história". From the theoretical methodological point of view, it is taken as investigation method the (auto)biographical research and as source, the narratives of subjects illness experience, understanding those narratives as a way of subjectivation that contribute to the discussion of concepts like therapeutical education, care, health and illness. Analysis of these narratives seeks to produce biographical knowledge of how these subjects give meaning to their experiences with illness, treatments, prejudices and different manners of coping to/with Aids. Also, it allow us to know how these subjects learn to deal with their illness, getting over prejudices, and building up ways of dealing with seropositivity.

Keywords : Health and Sickness; Chronical Illness; Aids; Biographical Learning; Journal Saber Viver.
