Next Saturday (1), we will celebrate World AIDS Day, which, even though it appeared 30 years ago, still raises many doubts among the population. O Morning show Jean Gorinchteyn, infectologist at Emílio Ribas Hospital; publicist and digital influencer Lucas Raniel, who was diagnosed with HIV in 2013; and screenwriter and director André Canto, creator of the project "Letter Beyond the Walls", to discuss the subject.

In Brazil, a Brazilian is infected every 15 minutes, or 109 cases a day, 40,000 a year. For Dr. Jean Gorinchteyn, investing in public policies is the best form of prevention because they allow additional and prior treatment, thus reducing the spread of the virus. "If a person had a questionable sex, woke up from the ballad and did not remember what had happened the day before, this person should see a doctor within 72 hours to start the 28-day treatment" , he explained. "It is also possible for people at risk, such as health professionals, to do pretreatment," he added.

Writer André Canto compares earlier medications for birth control pills and subsequent medications with the morning after pill. For him, prejudices must end as soon as possible. "We looked at the disease as we had seen it in the 1980s," he said, referring to the non-differentiation of the term AIDS and HIV. "I'm gay and when I discovered my sexuality, I panicked, thinking that it would infect me.Why do we still have so many prejudices with such a simple treatment sickness?", Ask-t -he.

Youtuber, Lucas Raniel is also homosexual and has felt the need to talk about the disease on social networks, after the disclosure of false information. "They said I was transmitting AIDS to everyone and [depois do ocorrido] I used Facebook to share this story and the viralized report, "explained the beginning of public life.

On the channel "Falo Memo", the advertiser explains what it means to live with HIV. In return, he receives messages of hate from reports of young people who hide the disease from their parents. "" You have it because you're gay, "" scum of society, "I read a lot in my videos," he said. "I also get reports from infected people who are afraid of being excluded from the household because they have contracted the disease," he said.

Precisely because of the lack of dialogue in the house, the director André Canto emphasizes the importance of the discussion also in the schools. "The greatest number is still among gay men, but how are we going to talk about prevention with this group if we can not talk about homosexual sex in schools, how will the family handle this young man?" Canto concluded with important advice: "I am the only one responsible for my prevention".

The subject will be discussed in more detail in the project "Letter Beyond the Walls", divided into a series, a book and a documentary, whose trailer will be published next Friday (30), the same day that Dr. Jean Gorinchteyn invites to give a conference on "HIV Youth" in the auditorium Emílio Ribas in São Paulo.
