No “OLSW” in youth and retirement pension at risk: An autoethnography on the activism for the rights of people living with HIV/AIDS1

Abstract

This article presents the narratives of young people born with HIV told in chatting circles of a Working Group on Vertical Transmission of HIV and Youth. The themes relate to employability and social benefits, as well as the loss of retirement pensions by people living with HIV/ AIDS (PLHA) from 2016 to 2019. Based on the concept of intersectionality, this qualitative research consists of the autoethnography of a Black intersex travesti activist and of a document analysis of minutes, news, meeting memories, personal notes, and legislations.
