LOPEZ PACHECO, Marcela; CALDERON, María del Carmen; PENA, Edith Yesenia y GOMEZ, Guillermo. Care trajectories in women with Human Papillomavirus Infection: a biocultural approach. Cuicuilco. Rev. cienc. antropol. [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.78, pp.189-209. Epub 06-Mayo-2021. ISSN 2448-8488.
This paper focuses on the care process undergone by six women who were diagnosed with Human Papillomavirus Infection (HPV) and attended by a tertiary health care institution in Mexico City. It is a qualitative study based on the ethnographic method, along with an analysis carried out using a biocultural approach, the objective being to identify how the care trajectories of these women who were attended to by way of the dysplasia service provided by the General Hospital of Mexico (HGM). Using the results, the experiences, micro-adaptations and resignifications that emerged from the HPV, the affectations regarding sexuality, and the reevaluation of their own bodies were observed both during the ‘abandonment’ and ‘in care’ phases. The trajectory of the care provided has followed a path of questions, ruptures and modifications, which confront women with a reality that was not previously questioned.
