Objective: to analyze the barriers to access HIV rapid test from the perspective of the discourse of managers of Primary Health Care services. Method: exploratory, qualitative research conducted in a health district of João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. Data collection was performed in September 2017 with 13 health managers. The empirical material was based on the theoretical-methodological contribution of the Discourse Analysis of the French matrix. Results: the discursive block "Barriers of user access in the health system to perform the HIV rapid test in Primary Health Care" was identified. The discourses revealed barriers of access tied to the dimensions: geographical accessibility, availability, feasibility and acceptability. Final considerations: the units have the potential to strengthen the performance of the HIV rapid test, however, they need political support aimed at strategies to strengthen the performance of the rapid test with scope to reduce access barriers.

Objective: to analyze the strategies adopted by women before the low problem-solving capacity in their area of Family Health Strategy coverage. Method: this was a qualitative study that adopted comprehensiveness as its analytical category. Interviews were conducted with 12 women of reproductive age and who were registered in one of two Family Health Units. The empirical material was analyzed using technical discourse analysis. Results: the search for higher complexity services was the main strategy adopted by women to care for their demands in the absence of response from primary care. This network was adopted as their reference given the lack of primary network infrastructure to effectively play its role and thus the Family Health Strategy program is only occasionally sought out. Conclusions: In light of the inefficiency of the Family Health Strategy, the specialized network is these women's first choice, inverting the roles of health services, which strengthens the curative care medical model, in opposition to the principles of the Unified Health System, and denies comprehensiveness of care.

Objective: describe the perception of workers of the Family Health Strategy teams in relation to teamwork. Methodology: a descriptive and qualitative research, performed between April and June 2014, through semi-structured interviews with 54 professionals working in 10 Family Health Strategy units in a city in southern Brazil. Data interpretation was by means of thematic category analysis. Results: from discourse analysis emerged categories: multi-professionality; sharing decisions and responsibilities; respect and appreciation of the work of others; division of duties, in which elements were identified that promote the two models that permeate the current professional practice, fragmented and focused on the disease and integral. Conclusion: the perception of teamwork for FHS workers is associated with multi-professionality in interdisciplinary logic, with the exchange of knowledge among its members as a mechanism to carry out healthcare actions.
