RESUMEN
El propósito del presente artículo expone como el diagnóstico de VIH ha afectado a mujeres chilenas en su rol de trabajadoras, conociéndolo desde su propia perspectiva. Es una investigación cualitativa, donde se entrevistan a 3 mujeres sero positivo de edad entre los 20 y 65 años, que cuentan con experiencia laboral previo al diagnóstico de VIH. Los resultados identifican un antes y después del diagnóstico de VIH, donde para mantener su rol de trabajadoras ocultan su diagnóstico al empleador y a sus compañeros de trabajo por miedo a ser discriminada; dan a conocer abiertamente su diagnóstico al contexto social que se desenvuelven para evitar prejuicios; o cambian su rubro laboral. De esta manera, se reconoce que la ley del SIDA de Chile no logra cubrir una protección real que permita el respeto, fiscalización y responsabilidad de estas normas, siendo vulnerados los derechos de las mujeres que viven con VIH. Las mujeres diagnosticadas sufren apartheid ocupacional e injusticia ocupacional, ya que no logran realizar su rol como trabajadoras debido a la desinformación que existe en la sociedad frente al VIH y a los estigmas que se encuentran en torno a ella, desencadenando prejuicios sociales históricos que han favorecido que mujeres vivan ocultando su realidad...

Thus, it is clear that the AIDS Chile legislation fails to offer real protection to ensure respect, execution of, and accountability regarding these rules being violated for women living with HIV. The diagnosed women suffer an occupational apartheid and occupational injustice, as they are unable to perform their role as workers due to the misunderstandings that exist in society regarding HIV and to the stigmas that surround it and, moreover, are victims of historical social biases that have favored women live hiding their HIV reality...
