Taking conceptual elements from structuration theory, the investigation explores strategies used by people with HIV infection in order to tackle consequences of stigma associated with HIV/aids. For the analysis, we consider three different groups whose experiences and ways to deal with stigmatization associated to HIV/aids differ from each other: women, homosexual men and heterosexual men. The results show that an important strategy used by people with HIV is that, while keeping the diagnosis hidden, they reconstruct within their community the representation of HIV/aids without stigma by means of information about HIV. El objetivo de este artículo es explorar las estrategias que las personas con VIH (PV) atendidas en el Hospital General de Huixtla (HGH) del estado de Chiapas llevan a cabo para enfrentar el estigma asociado al Virus de Inmunodeficiencia Adquirida (VIH) y al Síndrome de Inmunodeficiencia Humana (sida). Con elementos conceptuales tomados de la teoría de la estructuración, se busca conocer los recursos disponibles y utilizados por PV para hacer frente al estigma. Para el análisis se consideran tres grupos cuyas necesidades y forma de vivir el estigma asociado al VIH/sida se diferencian entre sí: mujeres, hombres homosexuales y hombres heterosexuales. Los resultados demuestran que las PV, a la par que mantienen oculto el diagnóstico, teniendo como recurso social la información relacionada al VIH, reconstruyen la representación del VIH/ sida sin estigma, como estrategia para enfrentar el estigma asociado a dicho padecimiento en la comunidad donde residen.
