Vulnerabilidades ao HIV: situações identificadas nos discursos de mulheres soropositivas

Abstract

The concept of vulnerability was proposed in an attempt to replace the notion of risk groups, risk behaviors and incorporate a broader vision for the population, addressing the vulnerability in the social levels, political and programmatic and individual HIV. Thus, this study sought to identify situations of vulnerability to HIV in the speech of HIV-positive women. The research used a qualitative approach to data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews were made 12 interviews with HIV-positive women to HIV / AIDS that were being followed up at referral service for HIV / AIDS in the municipality of Santo Antonio de Jesus, Bahia . The interviews took place from September to November 2014, the speeches were organized according to content analysis and analyzed with the aid of references on the subject, this systematization emerged three categories: "individual prevention strategies", "related social aspects vulnerability "and" situations related programmatic vulnerability. " The results showed that the absence of vulnerability perception and confidence in the partner were strongly linked with the acquisition of infection by the women, it was noted that all became HIV positive through heterosexual sex, and mostly did not obtain guidance on service to perform HIV testing, which led to a pattern of delayed diagnosis for the same. There was a very large discrepancy between the speeches, about the perception of vulnerability compared before and after infection, so these were more aware of the importance of condom use, recognizing the errors of not using the input to prevent further showed mostly having received guidance after HIV diagnosis to prevent reinfection and infecting other people. In this sense, it confirms the importance of multidisciplinary work in the service to users of health services, seeking to take action to raise awareness and adherence of the population safe practices, as well as expansion of the approach performed with quality information transmitted about HIV prevention and its reinfection.
