AU Camara CL; DeLima RM; Grupo Pela VIDDA, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
SO Int Conf AIDS. 1994 Aug 7-12;10(1):394 (abstract no. PD0184). Unique
Identifier : AIDSLINE ICA10/94370531
AB OBJECTIVE: Analysis of the onset of Grupo Pela VIDDA (GPV) in the
Brazilian political scene. GPV is a non-governamental organization (NGO)
that struggles for the citizenship of the people living with HIV/AIDS.
METHODS: A comparison to 'other' Brazilian NGOs that do not work with
AIDS prevention, but satisfy social demands (rural workers, union
trades, studies on violence etc.) The participants of these 'other NGOs'
believed, especially during the 70s, in a change in society. The
participants of GPV (1989) became engaged due to an individual
motivation: the life of people with HIV/AIDS. RESULTS: The
differentiated profile of an AIDS-related NGO, like GPV, is
characterized, at the same time, as a NGO and a social movement. As a
NGO, GPV represents people with HIV/AIDS. As a social movement, it
presents news demands through its action, having personal experiences as
a starting point. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: GPV relates the debate
about sexuality, life with HIV/AIDS, the struggle against prejudice and
the defense for a public health policy. This network of relations
generated a new concept about political action and a new social actor: a
group of people who live with HIV/AIDS.
