Considering that several diseases/infections have plagued the Brazilian population since the arrival of the Portuguese to the "new continent", this paper aims to demonstrate the strong correlation between the acceleration of the globalization process and the beginning of several pandemics in Brazil, particularly HIV/AIDS, a disease that in the 1980s was called "gay plague" and was responsible for stigmatizing male homosexuality. Over time, many achievements have been obtained by social movements, such as HIV treatment and the dissemination of legitimate information about HIV/AIDS, as the infection/disease impacts the society as a whole. Despite this, difficult days take over the country, threatening the existence of the Unified Health System (SUS) and the free access to pre- and post-exposure medication to the virus. Regarding materials and methods, we highlight the literature review employing triangulation of methods, observing the views of researchers about the phenomenon from multiple angles, the systematic literature review method, collecting data and highlighting evidence about the scenario of HIV/AIDS in Brazil and, finally, we draw a documentary analysis of historiographic nature that supports this research and contributes substantially to the theoretical and methodological framework of this article. The results demonstrate that since colonial Brazil the globalization of diseases has affected thousands of people, and that even today, 40 years after the first case of HIV/AIDS, the blame continues to directed at certain social groups
