The intention of this work: imaginaries of people with HIV from the case study of the Quito Ecuadorian Red Cross’s self-support group (SSG), was the identification of the changes that occur in the conduct of the people with whom the members of this group relate, in their daily lives, especially in members of the group: their family, social, religious, labor and health, contexts.
Through qualitative research techniques as anthropological interview, autobiographical narratives and focus groups I was able to acquire significant information, in order to analyze in these fields, how the processes of stigmatization and discrimination take place, processes that are particularly affecting and infringing the rights of seropositive persons.
The use of these tools helped to understand how stigma and discrimination behaviors that disrupt, block and hinder the actions and efforts taken to stop the spreading of the epidemic are originated. It was also comprehended how the therapeutic effects of being part of a support group, contribute directly to improving the quality of life of people living with HIV (PLWHIV).
It is concluded that the use of the theory of imaginaries developed by Cornelius Castoriadis, as well as qualitative techniques, meet the objectives and contribute greatly to deeply understand the instituted imaginaries, characterized and understood, to thereby construct others, appropriate with the dignity and rights that people living with this virus deserve |
