Abstract

Objective: to reflect on the combined HIV prevention strategy as a new prevention paradigm. Content: this is a reflective analysis of the guiding document of the Brazilian response to the HIV epidemic: “Combined HIV prevention: conceptual bases for professionals, workers and health managers”, proposed by the Ministry of Health of Brazil, in the light of Thomas Kuhn's reference in his work, "The structure of scientific revolutions". The “new” paradigm, combined prevention, does not show structural changes in prevention strategies, it only incorporates new technologies into its policy. Final considerations: combined HIV prevention is not presented as a new prevention paradigm in the Brazilian response to the epidemic, but as a reorganization of prevention strategies from existing paradigms.
