Abstract

MAFIA TERAN, Nelson  and  GONZALEZ BERNAL, Edith. The experience of God in people who live with HIV/AIDS. Franciscanum [online]. 2018, vol.60, n.169, pp.273-309. ISSN 0120-1468.

This paper presents the interpretation of the experience of God given by a group of HIV/AIDS carriers. The question that guided this investigation was: How do people who live with AIDS configure an experience of God? It is worth mentioning that the people who contributed with their experience are mostly homosexual, this matter is, by itself, a prevailing enquiry for moral theology. This paper addresses corporeity, sexuality and homosexuality, as categories relevant to facing life and understanding the experience of God. This investigation was possible thanks to the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, in which both researchers and participants read their own experience amidst adversity and found the presence of a God who manifests himself as merciful and oblivious to human prejudice.

Keywords : Experience of God; sexuality; HIV-AIDS; homosexuality; Participatory Action Research.
