Drama of women with HIV is called to become a theological place because God speaks through the words and deeds that occur in that place and because its liberating and saving potential for the individuals involved. They, after become aware of their situation, demands to safeguard their rights and, in particular, their sexual health right. Sexual and reproductive rights are not opposed to human rights and, if they are circumvented, justice, equity and plurality not are possible. Consequently, human rights theology, and particularly, sexual health right, are a legitimate way to reflect and urge God Kingdom because their values converge. In this sense, here the stories of some women who carried out a contextual reading of the story of Tamar (1Sm 13.1 to 22) and, on this pretext, let bring out their own stories are capitalized, which allowed them to realize game power over his body, game in which men, society, institutions and culture are interested in keeping submission, ignorance, stigmatization, fear and low capacity to make decisions.

Keywords : Theology; sexual rights; theology of sexual health; gender power; human body.
