SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE NATIONAL SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF HIV / AIDS.

Abstract

About 37 million people in the world, 966 thousand of whom in Brazil, in particular, live with the human immunodeficiency virus / acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV / AIDS). The disease had its first records in the early 1980s. Two researchers are prominent in the discovery of the virus. Doctors and researchers Robert Charles Gallo, and Luc Montagnier. Based on this evidence, the guiding question emerged: “what does the national scientific literature offer about the history of HIV / AIDS?”. To answer this question, a systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out on the databases: SciELO and BDTD. The combined descriptors were: "aids or hiv", "origin or discovery or history", "epidemic". Results: 217 published works (Scielo n = 49; BDTD n = 168) excluded 209 for not meeting the theme. Eight studies were analyzed in full. Subsequently categorized by thematic axes: (1) Disease at the interface with stigma; (2) The disease at the interface with public health policies; and (3) The disease at the interface with the media. It is evident that there is a large collection of research on HIV / AIDS in Brazil. Unfortunately, in these studies analyzed, family dialogue is never mentioned as a way of responding to the virus epidemic. Therefore, it is important to consider that the matrices of meaning, family and school, must assume a loving and enlightening dialogue with adolescents and young people, based on evidence and committed to contemporary sexual health in favor of a better affective-sexual quality of life. of all / all Brazilians.
