Abstract:
This work discuss the meanings about Aids that circulate, both among travestis and public policy apparatuses, impacting their adherence to official health care initiatives.

This bias has prevented the recognition of the multiplicity of meanings attributed to Aids that perform barriers and make it difficult to face the epidemic that remains concentrated in this segment
