This text addresses some problems regarding access by users to HIV-AIDS prevention/care/control services at the medical office of Servicio de Atención Integral (SAI by its acronym in Spanish), pertaining to a Mexican Health Department clinic in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas. It specifically focuses on discrimination-related issues, concretely regarding the user’s sexual orientation and socio-cultural trajectory through SAI, as well as the doctor-patient-institution relationship. The representations of the clinic’s doctors regarding sexual and HIV-AIDS preventive practices as well as the explicatory models of the health/disease/care triad of the subjects and collective recipients, and the clinic’s health care praxis are analyzed.

Palabras llave : HIV-AIDS; discrimination; treatment adherence.
