All these were ways to designate what in 1983 was known as the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Bringing a sexual panic with the need to manage this disease, AIDS was able to articulate throughout its 30 years the device of sexuality and power devices and medical know-silent and very effective of Biopolitics. The biopolitics or biopower, to Michel Foucault's exactly the way it managed the life Pest epidemics, pandemics, these are terms that designate diseases that must be contained, they afflict large-scale population, undermining the economic relationship, with the decrease of active subjects, in addition to producing a large burden for the state with treatments. The discourses regarding AIDS have this normalizing character, double danger, blood and sex, articulated this device that tries to manage life through surveillance, rule and regulation of the body.
