Abstract

This text illustrates the difference between medical anthropology and a medical-anthropological practice by analysing a group of narratives collected during fieldwork among HIV/AIDS patients in the northeast region of the Amazon. These narratives are read having as background the historical, social and economic local processes.

Keywords: medical anthropology, social medicine, colonization, HIV/AIDS
