The aim of this article is to highlight the characteristics and crossings of Brazilian LGBTI, AIDS, HIV movements and of journalistic coverage of the syndrome that emerged publicly in the early 1980s. We brought up historical dimensions and current issues as challenging for the sciences, medicine, governments and militants in order to reflect on ongoing disputes, especially those that are related to LGBTIphobia and others social oppressions. The research was carried out through a bibliographical survey about policies of the LGBTI, HIV and AIDS movements, as well as the use of previously conducted research results on homophobia and journalistic narratives. It was observed a complex connection between the relations generated in the beginning of the syndrome, close to the first steps of the LGBTI movement in Brazil, as the ambivalent production of visibility, as well as the maintenance of historical prejudices that still reverberate in social world.
