Abstract

This work aims to understand how the HIV/AIDS issue has been questioned in the Public Health field, in its interface with the field known as “sexual and reproductive rights” and reproductive technologies as a technological innovation still seldom discussed in the context of public health policies. Therefore, it examines the current debate milestones encompassing medically assisted reproduction, in view of the different approaches found in the academic literature on the subject within the scope of public health policies aimed at HIV/AIDS and for women. We assume that historical issues and policies concerning the build-up of these fields are reflected in the way this topic, still uncommon in the examined literature, has been discussed. The developed analysis is supported on available studies on this field, official documents and print media, and brings together a collection of reflections on the themes assisted reproduction, HIV/AIDS and reproductive rights.
