RESUMO:

INTRODUCTION: The emergence of a new disease in the early 1980s, identified by the acronym aids, caused significant changes in several fields beyond health, mainly by combining sexual behavior and disease, giving greater visibility to issues related to sexuality, considering the sexual, one of the main forms of transmission. The spread of HIV infection in Brazil manifested itself as an epidemic with multiple dimensions resulting from the deep social inequalities of the country with significant changes in its epidemiological profile. Among these is the internalization, with the geographical diffusion of the disease from the great urban centers to the municipalities of the interior of the country. Considering the historical aspects and experience as a nurse of a Basic Health Unit, in the interior of the Brazilian northeastern, in which the scenario of health practices reproduces the marginalization of the HIV / AIDS condition, the interest with the study arose. OBJECTIVE: To understand the place of HIV / AIDS in daily health practices of a Basic Health Unit (UBS), in the northeastern. METHODOLOGY: This is an ethnography, whose field work was carried out between July and November of 2018 in a UBS of the municipality of Caicó / RN. The actors involved were the professionals that make up the two health teams of the family of this service. Participant observation, semi-structured individual interviews and sociodemographic questionnaire were used. Data were analyzed using the thematic coding technique. RESULTS: The analysis pointed to the invisibility and social erasure of PLHA in the territory of this service, being associated with: social prejudice; the absence of private spaces between professionals and these people; and the lack of discussions and knowledge of professionals to deal with the HIV / AIDS condition. Another result was the evidence of the social markers of difference: sexuality, gender, and the context of the place of study as enablers of issues that reinforce and shape local prejudice and stigma. And finally, the difficulty of professionals with the work directed to both PLWHA and HIV / AIDS in general, possibly resulting from historical moral values borne by them, associated with the absence of permanent education and a municipal and state health policy focused on these issues. CONCLUSION: The approach to the theme provided the visualization of an important problem on HIV / AIDS, signaling a fragility of a health unit specific to Primary Care in incorporating interventions that address PLWHA and the dimensions of HIV / AIDS into its services. It made possible changes in my professional look, previously limited and restricted to historically passed elements. The study becomes a fuel for the path of professional transformation that I have not yet fully attained, but which has already been aware that there is a long way ahead, besides, it has provided instruments that allow me to be a multiplier agent. Finally, it contributes to the discussion of the topic and the current political scenario associated with public health.
