Abstract
With the advent of AIDS, a discursive journalistic-biomedical-mediatic articulation contributed to accentuate stigmatization on certain populations, implying a colonization of HIV in which the virus would reach some people while others would be free. Through a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), a critical literature review was carried out in some academic-legal-media areas from a narrative literature review (NLR). The theoretical, ethical and political references of decolonial studies were used for the present analysis because they understand that coloniality is reproduced in a triple dimension: that of power, knowledge and being. These studies were linked to an intersectional criticism in which multiple forms of discrimination can overlap and be experienced in intersection having the contextualization about what aids represented, in Haiti, as a comparative central axis for analysis. We were interested in thinking about the contribution of these perspectives to launch some provocations to the responses to HIV/AIDS in an attempt to overcome a reductionist view propagated by moral and criminalizing discourses that, by positioning themselves through supposed neutrality, conceal the intersectionality of gender, class, race and sexuality, raising barriers to health promotion and HIV/AIDS prevention policies and strategies.
