| Abstract | This paper analyzes the perceptions of risk for
HIV transmission and the formation of sexual identities and
gender of young men and women of different sexual
orientations and color/race. The study is based on ethnographic
observation in a variety of nocturnal social
environments in Rio de Janeiro and interviews with young
people within this context. The findings show that our
informants have assimilated preventive information regarding
HIV, but have difficulties in adopting consistent
condom use. There are variations in HIV risk perception
associated with sexual identities and gender: gay men see
themselves and are perceived by others as the most
vulnerable group. Among youth who claim heterosexual
practices, susceptibility to HIV is associated with “others”.
Lesbians see themselves as not being at risk for AIDS. It
can be concluded that sexual identities and gender influence
the perception of AIDS risk. However, being social, sexual
identities are contextual and can vary over the course of a
person’s life. Our results underscore the importance of the
current debate regarding the implications of fixing identity
labels to social and political movements. | pt_BR |
