Abstract

Historically, according to several sources (oral and written), the epidemiological evolution of HIV / AIDS, is characterized by its increasing incidence along the bodies of the poor class and low levels of education. Given this scenario impoverishment of HIV / AIDS, we chose to investigate dialectically the genesis of political consciousness of the RNP + activists (National Network of People Living with HIV / AIDS) and their fight against HIV / AIDS. We interpret this phenomenon as the transition of consciousness itself to consciousness for himself concepts developed by Marx and Engels, to historically analyze the act of production of consciousness in humans. The researchers, to occupy up research on the body into illness in the past and present cultures learned important aspects of the history of human.
