This study aimed to analyze the remembrances of elderly people about their illness and the path taken in health services until diagnosis of HIV/AIDS. This is a cross-sectional and descriptive analytical study, with a qualitative approach and theoretical and methodological support from the social representations theory and conducted with 38 elderly people. A questionnaire with sociodemographic data, health conditions, and a script for semi-structured interviews was used. Data analysis was performed with the support of the QRS NVivo software and in light of Bardin's content analysis. In relation to the itinerary to the diagnosis of HIV/AIDS, the memories are from manifestations of opportunistic diseases and of a long trajectory with health problems and hospitalizations in search of a late diagnosis. The representation of death associated with the diagnosis of HIV/AIDS materializes for some with the loss of the partner in this process of searching for the diagnosis.
本研究旨在分析老年人对其疾病的记忆以及在确诊艾滋病毒/艾滋病之前在医疗服务中所经历的过程。这是一项横断面描述性分析研究，采用定性方法，以社会表征理论为理论和方法支持，对38名老年人进行了研究。使用了一份包含社会人口数据、健康状况以及半结构化访谈脚本的问卷。数据分析在QRS NVivo软件的支持下，并根据巴丁的内容分析法进行。关于艾滋病毒/艾滋病诊断的历程，记忆来自机会性疾病的表现以及在寻求晚期诊断过程中出现的长期健康问题和住院经历。对于一些人来说，与艾滋病毒/艾滋病诊断相关的死亡表征在寻找诊断的过程中因伴侣的离世而显现出来。
