The main aim of this paper consists in the analysis of social construction care in a specific support s group to the people living with HIV/AIDS. For this purpose, a theoretical conceptual and methodological discussion will be developed in four chapter. The first two ones we reflect on the trajectory of combat in the HIV/Aids epidemic in Brazil and the role of the Non-Governmental Organizations in this trajectory, searching to delineate the field of dispute in where a specific group of people living with HIV/Aids has insertions and tales on counter hegemonic position. In the third chapter we map the process of the group s formation, analyzing the relationship of the activities developed and the consequences of the field of dispute in the interior of the group. In the following chapter, a reflex ion on one component s life is put forward, by mean of which we identify the possible configurations of this person, through of its insertion on these social spaces. We verify that such enlarges its capacity to articulate knowledge in the difficulties faced of its health s problems. We concluded that the group establishes ways of to make that prioritizes the maintenance of the bond by where circulate goods and solidarities. Moreover, we notice that the hegemonic conceptions of health and illness have had its pores widened by this social new arrangement that not only filters the values undesirable of this hegemonic vision, as also it propitiates to the persons the rediscovery of its own care. Finally, we evidence that the representations on health and illness derived from the person s insertion in specific social spaces, as the groups of support, provoke outstanding new meaning: to work, to cook, to sleep, to feed himself and those that were only in the order of the leisure as: to walk, to be in home with the family, to visit and to be visited by friends, to dance and others gain a new dimension and become health s vectors. In this way, common gestures and habitual practices are converted in tactics that modulate the care of person. The persons also realize these daily practices, which we call living care as care.
