Summary: The objective of this thesis is to analyze the advances and setbacks faced by
the NGOs in the construction of a prevention agenda for the confrontation of
Hiv/Aids in Brazil, from the capital crisis, period 2009-2019. To achieve the
objective, we carry out a documentary research, developing documentary
analysis and participant observation. The method chosen as a theoretical
reference corresponded to dialectical materialism. For the data analysis we
usd thematic analysis type content analysis. The advent of Hiv/Aids became
part of a globalized neoliberal agenda, becoming a powerful market, however
with the presence of the 2008/2009 structural capital crisis, its effects
began to be felt from 2011 on and worsening As it is considered a chronic
disease by the World Health Organization, this has served to justify that
Hiv/Aids is no longer considered an emergency, being in this way, it
encourages governments to allocate resources to other areas, which
effectively has a negative impact on the financing of the activities carried
out by NGOs in the area of prevention. We identify financial and political
barriers within the temporal cutoff that really indicate a setback in the
Brazilian Aids Policy. We found that combined prevention has become the
largest prevention tool used from 2017 to date, being controversial due to
the emphasis on biomedicalization of it, and the little interaction with the
behavioral and structural components, which This is evidenced by the little
participation and support received by Hiv/Aids NGOs. Despite the gloomy
scenario and uncertainty in times of eminently financial accumulation, the
Hiv/Aids NGO movement continues to be widely critical, regardless of the
prevailing political ideology, cohesive and with a long history in the
achievement and promotion of rights. With this thesis, it was found that NGOs
suffered a reflux in access to public financing, altering their action agenda
in the field of Hiv/Aids prevention.
