HERRERA GIL, Guillermo L. The human suffering as a possibility for faith under the reality of hiv/aids. Franciscanum [online]. 2013, vol.55, n.160, pp.195-217. ISSN 0120-1468.

Abstract The reality of hiv/aids has surpassed the limits of health to become an existential and ethical issue. The questions are no longer generated only medical or scientific nature, its particularity has become a true lifestyle: it's not just a concern for those who die of aids but, above all, for those living with this reality. The conclusions presented here provide answers to the general objective of this research: to analyze the suffering in the reality of hiv/aids, to interpret the extent provided new elements, such as faith and ability to contribute to the renewal of theological anthropology content. The research sought, rather than a therapeutic diagnosis, personal analysis, interior and subjective experiences of those who, directly or indirectly, must deal every day with this new existential reality. hiv/aids, unlike other human suffering leads man to live again. This new perspective also demands a new attitude: it is not inevitable that afflicts and eats in a matter of weeks or months, which annihilates bows and psychological and physical forces. It is rather a reality that accompanies a spur call to ignite a life of zest for life.

Keywords : hiv/aids; Suffering; faith; illness; hope.
