Abstract MEIRELLES, Rodrigo e IANNI, Aurea Maria Zöllner. Preventivism and homosexuals in the context of the Brazilian military dictatorship: An analysis based on Sérgio Arouca’s contributions. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e200043. Epub 11-Nov-2020. ISSN 1807-5762. https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200043.
