The discrimination in the scenery of aids is a complex phenomenon and interferes directly in the prevention of the infection with HIV and in the treatment of those people who live with this diagnostic. It is explained as recurrence of stigma and prejudice and it is understood as a violation of the human rights. In this research, we have tried to know the discriminations suffered by people with HIV/ AIDS in their routine, to understand the reasons to take (or not) these situations to court. For this purpose, we have interviewed professionals working in defense of the human rights in Brazil and people who have already suffered discrimination due to their diagnostic of HIV/AIDS. We have taken as hypothesis that people can: (a) not know their rights; (b) not have information about the existence of this kind of juridical service; (c) fear that this process gives visibility to their condition or (d) find difficulty in proving that they have suffered discrimination. Based on the referential theoretical-methodology of the Social Psychology, our focus of analysis was the discursive practice: the language as an action, and therefore, a result of reality. The results suggest that the discrimination in the scenery of aids is shown in the same way as other kinds of discrimination in our society: in relation to people who are black, who come from the Northwest part of Brazil, disabled people, women, homosexuals among others. One of the obstacles met for the use of juridical instruments in defense of the broken rights is the fact that discrimination may occur in a relation of power and strength that oblige people to be quiet in order to protect their interests and, yet, for being necessary that the discriminations follow the juridical orders. The contexts of health care assistance, of social security and work are determined by a relation of know-can. As a consequence, the discriminations suffered by people in different contexts of their everyday life are seen as banal social practices and frequently people need to protect themselves. This is called social discrimination ( contrary to juridical discrimination). It is necessary to include, in the answers to discrimination, spaces shared in Health care services, ONGs and in the community, also for the professionals that work on the defense of the rights of people with HIV. It is necessary that many strategies are taken to solve this problem, mainly based on solidarity and in the sense of shared community and in social ethics. Finally, we should consider that to understand the processes of production of senses that might help us find answers to a question that still doesn t have an answer: what should we do with the social discriminations that are not considered judicial discriminations?
