This article presents the results of a study aimed to determine how the information needs and information-seeking behaviours are generated and expressed in a sample of people with HIV from Lima, Peru, essaying an ethnographic, interpretative approach to explore the role of different forms of uncertainty present in different moments of their lives. The results inform an explanatory theoretical model which establish a continuum with a base formed by people’s multiple experiences of uncertainty, from where some specific information needs emerge. Depending of the people’s stages in their life trajectories with HIV and several socio-cultural factors, some information needs can be expressed as information-seeking behaviours. The study’s findings support an analysis approach based in human experiences, social relationships, contextual elements and life trajectories which define information flows. In that sense, this approach has some implications for theory, social research, and professional practice in Information Science. La infección por VIH define formas particulares de manejo de información entre las personas afectadas por esta condición de salud. Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio realizado desde una aproximación etnográfica e interpretativa con el objetivo de determinar cómo se forman y se expresan las necesidades de información y las conductas de búsqueda en una muestra de personas con VIH de Lima, Perú. Luego de explorar el rol de diversas formas de incertidumbre presentes en diferentes momentos de las vidas de estas personas, se elaboró un modelo teórico explicativo que postula un continuum en cuya base se encuentran múltiples experiencias de incertidumbre, algunas de las cuales generan necesidades de información específicas que se pueden expresar en conductas de búsqueda de información dependiendo de las etapas que atraviesan las personas en sus trayectorias de vida y de varios factores del entorno sociocultural. Los hallazgos del estudio sostienen una propuesta de análisis centrada en las experiencias humanas, las relaciones sociales, los elementos contextuales y las trayectorias de vida en las que se inscriben los flujos de información. En ese sentido, esta propuesta tiene algunas implicancias para la teoría, la investigación social y la práctica profesional en Ciencias de la Información. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/703 10.34096/ics.i25.703 spa Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/703/681 Información, cultura y sociedad; No. 25 (2011); 87-116 Información, cultura y sociedad; Núm. 25 (2011); 87-116 1851-1740 1514-8327 Información Incertidumbre Necesidades de información Conductas de búsqueda VIH Information Uncertainty Information needs Information-seeking behaviours HIV Information and Uncertainty in Lives With HIV: Ethnographic Study With People With HIV in Lima, Perú Información e incertidumbre en la trayectoria de vida con VIH: estudio etnográfico con personas con VIH de Lima, Perú info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=biblioinfo&d=703_oai
