Objective: to validate an educational text in the context of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) for visually impaired persons, making it accessible to this population. Method: a validation study, in a virtual environment. Data collection occurred from May to September 2012 by emailing the subjects, and was composed by seven content experts about STDs. Analysis was based on the considerations of the experts about Objectives, Structure and Presentation, and Relevance. Results: on the Objectives and Structure and Presentation blocks, 77 (84.6%) and 48 (85.7%) were fully adequate or appropriate, respectively. In the Relevance block, items 3.2 - Allows transfer and generalization of learning, and 3.5 - Portrays aspects needed to clarify the family, showed bad agreement indices of 0.42 and 0.57, respectively. The analysis was followed by reformulating the text according to the relevant suggestions. Conclusion: the text was validated regarding the content of sexually transmitted diseases. A total of 35 stanzas were removed and nine others included, following the recommendations of the experts.
OBJECTIVE To validate assistive technology for visually impaired women to learn how to use the female condom. METHOD a methodological development study conducted on a web page, with data collection between May and October 2012. Participants were 14 judges; seven judges in sexual and reproductive health (1st stage) and seven in special education (2nd stage). RESULTS All items have reached the adopted parameter of 70% agreement. In Stage 1 new materials were added to represent the cervix, and instructions that must be heard twice were included in the 2nd stage. CONCLUSION The technology has been validated and is appropriate for its objectives, structure / presentation and relevance. It is an innovative, low cost and valid instrument for promoting health and one which may help women with visual disabilities to use the female condom.

Aim: To develop an Assistive Technology for visually impaired women to learn how to use the female condom. Method: This is a descriptive and exploratory research, with a qualitative approach. Three workshops were held between April and May 2010. These events were recorded and the statements were transcribed and analyzed by the content analysis method. Results: The technology developed was written educational material, the manufacture of a female prosthesis, training on the placement of the condom in the prosthesis and workshops. The data was organized into three categories. Visual impairment did not inhibit the construction of the prosthesis. Discussion: Mistaken comments and doubts emerged during the placement of the condom in the prosthesis which evidenced women's lack of understanding about the condom. Conclusion: The technology developed was able to effectively assist women's needs regarding the issues addressed, as it helped to inform women with regards to STD, female anatomy, and the creative, interactive and effective use of the female condom.
Objetivou-se identificar na literatura científica os impactos na saúde da população acometida pela coinfecção HIV/COVID-19. Desenvolve-se uma revisão integrativa, durante os meses de junho e julho de 2022 em três bases de dados: LILACS, MEDLINE/Pubmed e SciELO, com os descritores HIV e COVID-19. Foram encontrados 342 artigos, mas 20 compuseram a amostra. Os resultados foram agrupados em quatro categorias a saber: Impactos Clínicos, Hematológicos, Psicológicos e Sociais. Conclui-se que a população coinfectada apresentou impactos negativos na sua condição de saúde, sendo necessário um olhar mais direcionado para o público em questão, buscando melhorar a assistência prestada.
