Abstract
En el presente año 2019 se han cumplido 25 años del estreno de la película Philadelhia de Jonathan Demme,
que en nuestro país se produjo en marzo de 1994. Pretendemos con este artículo hacer una reflexión de los
cambios que se han producido en la infección HIV tanto en el diagnóstico, tratamiento y pronostico así como
en el ámbito social: cuando se presenta la película hacía unos 10 años de los primeros casos, se contemplaba
la infección por HIV como una enfermedad con un amplio rechazo social con estigmatización de varios grupos
de riesgo (homosexuales, adictos por vía intravenosa y hemofílicos) y las vías de contagio, el diagnóstico solía
hacerse en fases tardías de la enfermedad con cuadros de inmunodeficiencia severa como sarcoma de Kaposi,
neumonía por Pneumocystis carinii, toxoplasmosis cerebral y meningitis por criptococo y los tratamientos eran
poco efectivos. En la actualidad, el diagnóstico y tratamiento es mucho más precoz y efectivo y la estigmatización
social ha desaparecido.
In present year 2019, 25 years of the premiere of the film Philadelhia by Jonathan Demme have been fulfilled, which in our country took place in March 1994. With this paper, we try to make a reflection of the changes that have occurred in HIV infection in diagnosis, treatment and prognosis as well as in the social field: when the film was presented about 10 years later first patients were diagnosed, HIV infection was considered as a disease with wide-spread social rejection with stigmatization of several risk groups (homosexuals, intravenous drug users and hemophiliacs) and ways of transmission, diagnosis was usually made in late stages of the disease with severe immunodeficiency symptoms such as Kaposi’s sarcoma, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, cerebral toxoplasmosis and cryptococcal meningitis and the treatments were ineffective. At present, diagnosis and treatment is much earlier and more effective and social stigmatization has disappeared.
