Hewitt Psicología Non AIDS Stigma People Living with HIV Political participation People living with HIV/AIDS (PHA) have been facing many difficulties in their lives because they are discriminated in various contexts, such as family, community, and work. Currently, AIDS Non - Governmental Organizations (AIDS /NGOs) have become increasingly important because, beyond providing traditional social support, they also offer an environment where PHA may openly express and share not only their experiences with HIV/AIDS, but they can change their personal and professio nal projetcts. We analyzed historical documents, in - depth interviews, and questionnaires answered by community members within two AIDS/NGOs, one in London, Ontario, Canada (NGO - Ca) and another in Greater Sao Paulo, Brazil (NGO - Br). In this article, some pa thways of political participation, which are relevant to both communities, are discussed. Surely, this may contribute to the decreasing of stigma and discrimination related to HIV/AIDS: compassion and altruism as a bridge to political participation, effect s on activism, and fostering based on solidarity and co - responsibility are also important discussed issues. 2017 artículo científico 0034-9690 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28452860012 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=284 Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology application/pdf Sociedad Interamericana de Psicología Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology (Puerto Rico) Num.1 Vol.51 |
