| Resumo: | This study addresses aspects of the construction of male homosexuality as part of the biopolitical management of sexuality associated with the appearance and consequences of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. In this sense, it was identified how homosexuality has a trajectory that historically links it to the hybrid notion of social dangerousness, fundamentally from the medical categorization of anal penetration among men as a deviant practice and, therefore, socially dangerous. In more recent years, unprecedented mechanisms of subjection and subjectivation have expanded the repertoire of mechanisms for social control of homosexuality based on HIV/AIDS prevention strategies, such as condoms and, more recently, Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) to HIV. |
