This article examines the main statements and conceptions present in the educational speech produced by the Brazilian AIDS Non Governmental Organizations - ASOs and examines how these speechs influenced the production of intervention projects. The paper identifies two main interconnected phases in such speechs: the universalist and the convergent ones. Without denying the importance of the work of the ASOs, the article asserts that their use of the conception of reason sometimes led them to use simplistic and punitive forms of intervention.
