HIV/AIDS: um perfil epidemiológico do vírus e uma análise das práticas seguras, conhecimento e percepção de mulheres

In recent decades, the debate surrounding the consequences of the HIV has passed by great changes. Earlier, prevention campaigns focused risk groups then risk behaviors and ultimately vulnerability. Furthermore, over the years, the dimensions of HIV that emerged in the social environment are these: internalization, heterosexualization, impoverishment and feminization. Based on these contexts, the composition of this study comprises two papers: the former has the overall objective to analyze the epidemiology and incidence of HIV in Brazilian regions in the period from 1980 to 2012; the latter, it aims to find out whether there is the relationship among safe practices, knowledge and perception of women residents in Manaus and Boa Vista cities on the infection by HIV. In paper 1, it was used information from the Health Ministry, as a data source. Besides, it was developed an exploratory and spatial analysis of incidence rates and relative proportion of notified cases. In paper 2, was used as a source of data, the research "Evaluating the process of spatial and epidemic diffusion of HIV in the federal units of Brazil-Northern Region" in 2008. Furthermore, Statistical Techniques of Cluster Analysis, Analysis of Variance, Chi-Square and Logistic Regression were applied. In this paper, it was found that, in Brazilian Regions, the prevalence of reported cases occurred among heterosexuals in men 20-40 year age group and residing in metropolitan areas. It was observed a significant spatial correlation of the incidence rate of reported cases of HIV. It was also noted by the results that have good knowledge and awareness about HIV does not imply, essentially, in a safe sexual intercourse. These results have shown the need public policies geared to the guiding of society, based in educational strategies aiming both information about the virus and its prevention, as well as public awareness for safe sex practices or in stable or not intercourses

Intervenção cognitivo-comportamental e adesão ao tratamento em pessoas com HIV/Aids

Foram investigados efeitos da intervenção cognitivo-comportamental sobre a adesão inadequada à terapia antirretroviral. Participaram dois homens (P1 e P2) acometidos pela Aids. Uma mulher soropositiva (P3) funcionou como controle. Foram comparadas avaliações de comportamento de adesão, estratégias de enfrentamento, expectativa de autoeficácia para aderir à terapia e variáveis biológicas de três momentos - linha de base (LB), imediatamente após (M2) e três meses depois (M3) da intervenção. Os participantes P1 e P2 relataram aumentos nos níveis de adesão à terapia, nos escores de autoeficácia e no enfrentamento focalizado no problema. A participante P3 manteve adesão insuficiente e baixos escores de autoeficácia. Conclui-se que a intervenção cognitivo-comportamental teve efeitos positivos sobre a adesão à terapia antirretroviral. _______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
