SILVA, Neide Emy Kurokawa  e  OLIVEIRA, Luzia Aparecida. STD/AIDS Prevention and communication processes: a case study in the context of vulnerability. Temas psicol. [online]. 2013, vol.21, n.3, pp. 751-763. ISSN 1413-389X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.9788/TP2013.3-EE05PT.

INTRODUCTION: The vulnerability in STD/AIDS has proposed not only a new way of dealing with this situation, but also of thinking about sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS prevention strategies. OBJECTIVE: Since the perception of this vulnerability represents a challenge for prevention practices, strongly based on a verticalization strategy, this paper discusses the experience of a participatory peer education as an STD/AIDS prevention strategy, highlighting the potentialities, possibilities and challenges of dealing with the complexity and dynamism of this reference. METHODOLOGY: The experience was taken as a case study and the material produced based on reports received hermeneutic treatment. RESULTS: Tensions were identified in the coordination of the strategy by the governmental institution, as well as the very idea of "peer" and its identity relations. The dilemmas represented by the wide range of propositions regarding vulnerability were also highlighted. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, we stress that investment in the communication dimensions of peer prevention, through the enrichment of argumentative repertoires, was fruitful.
