Abstract

Abstract The aim of this article is to understand the gender vulnerability experienced by women living with HIV/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) in the city of Maputo, Mozambique, according to the reports of representatives and leaders of the health services who work directly on the issues of these conditions for the female public. To this end, the research was based on qualitative methodologies, since the production of the data was supported by a semi-structured script that considers the following themes: HIV/AIDS; gender; culture; and health services. The interpretations are mediated by Discourse Analysis (DA), which enables immersion in linguistic resources through meanings and connections. This allows us to interpret the complexity of the geographical context of women living with HIV/AIDS in the region, highlighting the need to promote actions toward the issues surrounding the disease, since it is urgent to establish a geographical interpretation of health, especially considering the reality lived by women who experience difficulties, oppression, stigma, and discrimination on a daily basis.
