 abstract = {In this article, we present an aspect of our ethnographic investigation with                HIV-positive Latin Americans living in Japan. In order to investigate the                relationship between HIV/AIDS and community support among HIV carriers, we                interviewed 20 male HIV-positive Latin Americans living in Japan. From April to                September 2002 and in August 2003 and 2004, we conducted a set of six 60-minute                interviews with 20, 28-37-year-old HIV-positive males. Three of them were illegal                aliens and seven of them claimed to be homosexual. Participants were contacted                through a hospital, a non-government organization (NGO), and by snowball sampling.                The analysis of the interviews indicates that informants did not find any community                support. Informants were fully aware that the psychological pressure from the                community affected negatively their CD4-count and viral load. Our analysis suggests                three main issues concerning the ways our informants relate to their community:                non-attachment, invisibility and under-representation. Serostatus, social class,                sexual preference, ethnicity and legal status were referred to as barriers to freely                associating within the community.},
