RESUMEN
El Estado argentino se compromete, mediante la Ley Nacional de SIDA, a suministrar gratuitamente los ARV. Reconociendo la complejidad que envuelve el proceso de gestión de ARV desde Programa Nacional y dando por sentado que las PVVS son el fin último del mismo, se piensa que es fundamental indagar en sus opiniones. El objetivo es explorar el suministro de ARV desde la perspectiva de las PVVS, en un hospital público de Rosario, respecto a 1) valoración del Programa y de la información recibida, 2) tiempos de espera, 3) la provisión en relación con la disponibilidad de ARV para sostener el tratamiento. Estudio de abordaje cualitativo, con entrevistas durante enero y febrero de 2007, se realizan en presencia de una psicóloga. Se definen criterios de selección de los entrevistados y ejes para las entrevistas. Las PVVS entrevistadas son 15 y opinan con autoridad respecto al Programa, señalando problemas en el suministro de ARV. Reconocen dificultades del sostenimiento en el tiempo en la toma de ARV y sus consecuencias en relación a la muerte y a la calidad de vida. El Programa se caracteriza por convivencia de rasgos que responden a políticas garantizadas por el Estado y a programas que responden a la emergencia. Aparece la necesidad de repensar el Programa como política de salud genuina, considerando a los ARV como medicamentos esenciales.
ABSTRACT
In accordance with the National AIDS Law, the Argentinian State is committed to supply antiretroviral medication (ARV) free of charge. Due to the complexity of the National ARV Program management process, and the fact that people with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) are the beneficiaries of the Program, it is considered relevant to ascertain their opinion. The aim of this work is to examine the supply of ARV by the National HIV/AIDS Program, from the perspective of PLHA, in a public hospital of the city of Rosario, in relation to 1) value of the Program and the information received from it; 2) waiting times; 3) availability of ARV to continue the treatment. It is a qualitative study with interviews during January and February 2007 consisting of structured questions and patient criteria selection, in the presence of a psychologist. 15 PLHA were interviewed and gave their considered opinion about the Program and its background. They acknowledge difficulties in the continuity of ARV treatment and the consequences with respect to death and quality of life. The Program shows the coexistence between characteristics of a policy guaranteed by the state and others from programs that respond to emergencies. It shows the need to rethink the Program as a genuine health policy, considering ARV as essential medicine.
