The present work aims to present narrative constructions about Aids published in 31 articles in the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo in 1994 and 1995.The articles were selected out of random sample.Analysis of the texts was carried out based on the Sciences of Language, pointing out how the narratives about Aids are built.The following language theories were used during the analysis: F. Saussure's linguistics theory, A. J. Greimas's narration semiotics, C.-L. Strauss's ethnology and J. Lacan's Freudian psychoanalysis.These articles about Aids can be divided into three major groups: State, Science and Homosexuality.Each group involves a wide range of articles with different approaches which converge to two basic points: evil versus good.The disease and the sick are presented as having images of "sin" and "damage".Science is presented as the redeemer which freeds people from evil and is capable of "curing" and "saving".The basic structure of the narrative about AIDS is, therefore, impregnated with religious and mystic images, that is, sin and salvation, the sinner and the saved
