SUMMARY:

This thesis analyzes discursive practices focusing on racial markers present in counseling during HIV testing at Carnival in Salvador-Bahia. Using the perspective of Social Psychology, with a constructionist basis, the aim was to reflect on the counseling included in the Rapid Testing for HIV (TR-HIV), emphasizing the racial dimension of the population that sought this service. The thesis is organized in an article format and to compose the whole of the thesis, I discuss theoretically and politically the notion of counseling as a first topic to contextualize the object of study, in addition to the contributions of constructionist studies to think about the object of study. In the first article, I carried out a documentary analysis of the counseling manuals made available to professionals during the time when the practice of counseling in HIV testing was introduced. In the second article, there is the analysis of the recordings of counseling and the field diary carried out during the 2019 carnival, emphasizing the racial dimension. The third article deals with proposals for the construction of racially oriented counseling. The results of the analysis, in the first article, demonstrate a significant change over time and from each manual, moving from a more individualistic prevention orientation, expanding to prevention based on individual and social vulnerability and, currently, being oriented, adapted to the experience of key populations to carry out counseling. Only in the third manual, the black population appears as a segment of attention in counseling - twenty-one years after the first publication on the subject. In the second article, we can highlight that self-declared black men in situations of vulnerability report the sexual offer and the obligation to respond to this offer. Paradoxically, when they have few partners in life, they also justify this situation, with an embarrassed tone, for not living up to the expectation of having many sexual partners. In turn, black women present these two forms of social vulnerability, which increase exposure to HIV, when they explain, during counseling, the experience of violent relationships, without the possibility of negotiating the use of means of prevention and the difficulty of accessing health services. testing and counseling in your daily life. In the third article, a counseling proposal for RT-HIV was built with emphasis on racial aspects. Two public domain documents were used as guidelines. More than a closed proposal on the format of training (which may include matrix support, workshops, clinical meetings, among other means) in continuing health education, the training of health professionals should directly focus on racial relations and the public health care and that problematizes the use of institutionalized discourses on the sexuality of the black population (whether men or women). I emphasize that the way in which the research practice of this project took place, despite not being new, was innovative. We have few studies that record, spontaneously and without the presence of the researcher, the exact moment in which the subject of study of this project takes place - counseling. In this way, I understand that counseling is a powerful technology of care. I argue that this space should be reconfigured to take place without previous scripts (but with racial literacy and intersectional with other social markers) and with the professional equipped with an opening to follow and be attentive to the linguistic repertoires of the users' racial markers. , can be effective. Have a more significant effect on people who carry out testing, inside or outside the walls of the Health Units, which includes in events, such as Carnival.
