HIV/Aids care policies and practices

OUR HANDS RESULTED from the meeting of a group of researchers and health professionals from various teaching and research institutions with the objective of knowing, gathering, and making visible academic research and analysis of experiences on HIV/ AIDS care in the current context.As a field of knowledge and practices 1 , organized by the Associao Brasileira de Sade Coletiva (ABRASCO) in three areas -social sciences and humanities in health, planning, and epidemiology -, collective health is in permanent construction over time, choosing as themes from aspects linked to policies, work organization and health systems, to micropolitics and people's everyday experience.Therefore, side by side with the production of data and systematic surveys, the biographical aspects of the various interlocutors (whether they are researchers, professionals, and/or research participants, in interaction) have also been relevant to configure and reconfigure the perspectives on such topics.Initially, therefore, this group of editors, crossed by epistemological and disciplinary diversity and constant dialogue, represents the meeting of many voices and backgrounds, as well as the willingness to renew and challenge itself, in constant action, just like the field of collective health itself.As Ruben Mattos 2 -to whom we dedicate this thematic issue -taught us so well -in what would become one of his best-known texts ('The senses of integrality'), the confrontation of HIV/AIDS was initially configured as a policy designed to respond to the needs of specific groups, integrating prevention and care actions.As the late professor wrote, "the Brazilian government response to AIDS has always been guided by respect for the rights of those who live with this disease" and "encompassed a wide range of strategies and interventions", including "the various groups affected by the problem, respecting their specificities" 2(65) .Many years after having written this text, Ruben was with us at the seminar on the care for People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in the health care network, held in Rio de Janeiro in February 2020, and drew attention to the crisis that began with the removal of President Dilma Rousseff from the Presidency of the Republic of Brazil, underlining the fact that the Social State has become, under the Temer administration (onwards, we would add), "an expenditure problem", with Constitutional Amendment No. 95, the "CA of the public spending cap".From then on, as he stressed in his speech, "social expenditures that were thought of from a constitutional rights
