Adolescentes que vivem com HIV, posicionamentos e implicações : o relato de uma experiência no cenário Arte Palavra

Abstract

This report is about an experience in one of the scenarios of the specialization course in adolescent health - waiting room with adolescents and young adults living with HIV/aids in a reference center. It is proposed here to reflect on the fragments of the adolescents' speeches shared in the group, resulting from a collective construction. The reflection will be carried out in the framework of psychoanalysis, seeking the meaning of the experience. This will enable us to follow the relationships between the positioning of adolescents living with HIV/aids when facing treatment and the implications that such positioning has for their lives. The body is invaded by changes resulting from puberty and the confrontations of embarrassments and the intensity of experiences, feelings, and actions. In an attempt to face the invasion of puberty in the body, the adolescent, with his/her resources, builds a way out: adolescence. In this delicate phase of life, experienced in an intense way, in many situations, especially when it comes to those who are more vulnerable, the youngster puts him/herself at risk in many ways. We relate the risk behavior to the adolescent's positioning in relation to his/her treatment. And so, playing with life and death, the adolescent submits to each act that takes place in the momentum of a situation or conflict. And finally: the construction of unexpected exits performed by the adolescent showing his/her strength in the world.
