Abstract
The purpose of this study is to verify the state of knowledge involving the themes psychoanalysis and AIDS within the Brazilian literature regarding public health and psychoanalysis. It is an updating research making bibliographical revision on texts published from the beginning of the epidemic of AIDS to the year 2000. A systematic search was made including newspapers articles indexed in the following data base: MEDLINE, PSICLIT, SOCIALFILE and LILACS, dissertations, theses, books, chapters of books, and communications in events. Fifty documents organized in a chronological sequence in relation to the year of publication have been reviewed. The technique used to analyze the contents was based on categories a priori defined, based on the objectives of the research, on the psychoanalytical field knowledge, and on the AIDS epidemic profile. Based on this systematic knowledge built in Brazil, one can utilize theoreticalpractical resources to implement new prevention programs which take into consideration the forms with which human beings deal with its desires and prohibitions. The unconscious, which produces human irrationality, has become less unknown, as well as the mechanisms which prevent the rules for health protection from being placed into practice to avoid HIV contamination. The dynamics of the psychic function surrounding the AIDS issue was focused, as well as the means through which the body falls ill due to such psychic function. The level of knowledge reached by the presented research papers can be used in other studies, with impact on subjects on an individual plan as well as on a collective basis.
