This article works in the historical perspective and in the bibliographic review of authors who analyze language resources, such as the metaphor, to understand the discursive construction of HIV/AIDS in medicine, in the media, in the literary fild, in LGBTI activism and in reports on YouTube channels of people living with HIV. The objective is to use the analysis of terminology and history of struggle for the meaning of terms associated with the disease and the virus in each period. We found that the initial representations about the clinical condition related to guilt and the moral judgment of groups, already vulnerable before the epidemic, were not completely overcome in the discourse. We also observe the efforts, over these 40 years, in the fild of science to reduce stigma and discrimination based on words.Downloads
