SUMMARY:

Initially linked to stigmatized groups such as gay people, Haitians and sex workers, the scenario that HIV holds today, after four decades, exceeds numerous delimitations in the concrete space and profiles that in the past were pointed as the main vectors of virus transmission. In addition to this, since the second decade of the 21st century, a group of individuals has emerged, made up of men who have sex with other men (MSM) who have, as a principle, the consensual and non-consensual purposeful transmission of HIV, known as the “Stamp Club”. These men live with HIV and renounce treatment for the virus, spreading it through various environments of the concrete space of the city, such as bars, squares, saunas, apartments in closed parties with the consent or not of the partners they get involved with. Despite the fact that the phenomenon is little known and little discussed in society and in Brazilian literature, this work contemplated as its main base the spatialization of the “Stamp Club” on the internet, in which it was possible to catalog fifteen groups and contemplate more than 1.500 men involved with this practice. In this context, we highlight the substantial role of cyberspace since this universe has become an essential communication tool nowadays. Moreover, the interaction of these MSM on the web provides not only the exchange of experiences narrated by messages and “emojis,” but also sexual and casual encounters in which it is possible to ascertain, through discourse analysis, a tangle of relationships that surround these subjects, as well as their behaviors and sexual practices that circulate in this phenomenon. Finally, we would like to mention that in order to preserve the anonymity of the subjects involved and to maintain the professional ethics of the researcher, no data exposed here seeks to identify these men. We understand the richness of this work for science and, as it is a very delicate subject, we are not raising and reinforcing the ensign of prejudice and stigma. We are only showing a phenomenon that occurs in society and that many are unaware of or prefer to disregard.
