Abstract(s)
Neste artigo procura-se pensar a experiência de
seropositividade a partir de uma perspectiva psicológica
e existencial, abordando quer as dificuldades em
conviver com um corpo percepcionado como
“doente”, quer as dificuldades inerentes a esta infecção
em particular. Faz-se ainda uma abordagem às
condicionantes à adesão medicamentosa e, por fim, a
partir de uma perspectiva fenomenológico-existencial,
procura-se lançar luz sobre as razões subjacentes às
dificuldades em integrar este diagnóstico.
ABSTRACT: With this theoretical essay, we try to think about the experience of being HIV positive from an existential and psychological standpoint, addressing both the difficulties of living with a body perceived as “unhealthy”, and the difficulties associated with this particular infection. We try also to think about the factors affecting treatment adherence to antiretroviral therapy and, finally, from an existentialphenomenological perspective, we seek to shed light on the reasons behind the difficulties in coping with this diagnosis.
