description This article realizes a comparative analysis of tuberculosis and Aids in Brazil, early and late 20th century, respectively. It is understood that this comparative analysis enables a new understanding of these pathologies, in that it makes not only the character of its incidence, but the way individuals and societies as they hit the ground. Taking the transmissibility and the incurability as common elements of both diseases, each time, tried to investigate the social repercussions and scientific and institutional strategies built to combat them. In this sense, it was found that both diseases produced a collective experience marked by stigma of the sick. By differentiation of social, political and scientific context, each time, the action of combating disease was, initially, to groups outside of the State and that, in the case of tuberculosis, doctors who have organized in Liga Brasileira contra a Tuberculose, and in the case of Aids, to their own patients that have created non-governmental organizations (NGOs). And both organizations lobbied the State to take responsibility for combating diseases, communicable diseases required a State action.The reports of the Liga Brasileira contra a Tuberculose, from 1900 to 1920, as well as the bulletins of the Associação Brasileira Interdisciplinar de Aids, and the Grupo pela Vidda, 1988 to 1996, ― Ngos taken as case study ― were fundamental sources used for this analysis.
