| Summary: | The contributions of Social Sciences to the HIV/AIDS epidemic has been insufficiently examined in Brazilian investigations. In order to experience approximations with the “state of the art” of this field of research, the present work intended to map and analyze the Brazilian theses and dissertations on HIV/AIDS in the area of Social Sciences. Through the bibliographical survey in the CAPES Thesis and Dissertations Catalog, 111 dissertations and 48 theses were identified, covering the period from 1990 to 2018. The descriptive statistics and content analysis were used and discussed according to volume, area of knowledge, period, institution, region, gender, themes and research methodologies. Among the results obtained, include: the expressive growth of studies and the process of diversification of empirical material over the years; women as the main interlocutors; therapeutic and care practices as less frequent themes; the gap of studies with the black people, the indigenous people and the expressions of gender and sexuality; public health institutions, companies and laboratories as contexts under or not explored. Furthermore, the article looks at the possibilities for expanding research with new biotechnologies and digital media. |
