GUADARRAMA SANCHEZ, Gloria Jovita e MONTOYA CASASOLA, Miguel Angel. Activism and defense of rights of people who lives with HIV in Mexico: an interpretation based on the conditions imposed by heteronormativity. La ventana [online]. 2024, vol.7, n.59, pp.76-111. Epub 12-Abr-2024. ISSN 1405-9436. https://doi.org/10.32870/lv.v7i59.7718.
In Mexico, in the last two decades, there has been an increase in the activism of a sector of the LGBTTTIQ+ community struggling for the rights of people living with HIV (PLHIV). This article aims to explore the causes of this phenomenon, understanding that this process should not be explained only by gender-related variables, because it is rooted in the precariousness of living conditions within the framework of heteronormativity and determined by changes in the economic structure of society in a particular historical context. To do this, participant observation and interviews with activists belonging to groups in the political struggle for sexual diversity were used, as well as documental research. The results show the relations between discrimination and homophobia with the social structure, as a component of displacements in political activism.
