Efectos del estigma en cuatro mujeres que viven con VIH/sida en la ciudad de Cali, Colombia. Estudio de caso

Abstract

Stigma is an attribute that disqualifies certain groups of people due to their characteristics or conditions that make them "different" to the common of society, in this case to people living with HIV / AIDS. Due to the above, the present investigation of qualitative interpretative approach was carried out, with the initiative of knowing the effects caused by the stigma in the daily life of four women living with this diagnosis in the city of Santiago de Cali, from a phenomenological perspective, using the case study as a research method, due to the relevance of this to understand and analyze phenomena linked to a particular context. In this way, each woman's life experience is identified, taking into account that it is through these experiences that each one understands the world in a subjective manner and appropriates it, transforming or reconstructing its future.
