Vulnerability in the health of young transgender women living with HIV/AIDS

Abstract

Objectives: to analyze the health vulnerability of young female transgender living with HIV/AIDS. Methods: qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory study, based on the theoretical reference of Social Representation and concept of vulnerability; developed with six transgender women in a reference Hospital for HIV/AIDS. We analyzed the individual interviews, recorded, and transcribed in full, in the IRaMuTeQ software by Similitude Analysis. Results: the thematic categories are listed based on the Ayres reference: 1) Individual dimension of vulnerability to HIV/AIDS; 2) Social dimension of vulnerability to HIV/AIDS; 3) Programmatic dimension of the vulnerability. Final Considerations: the young female transsexual living with HIV/AIDS experience a context of vulnerability in health associated with a lack of knowledge and difficulties for the realization of self-care. The study evidenced the representations of social abjection and unpreparedness of the health team that compose the Primary Attention in Health in promoting qualified assistance for the execution of the effective and humanized care.

Prevalence And Particularities Associated With Positive Serology For HIV In Trans Women And Travestis Sex Professionals

“…[18] Another qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study found that young transsexual women living with HIV are inserted in a context of health vulnerability in which both the difficulties in carrying out selfcare and the lack of knowledge about the AIDS epidemic are interconnected. [19] In addition, the lack of preparation of Primary Health Care to provide quality and humanized care was another point raised by the study. [19] Education is also an in factor fluency, according to data from Batista and collaborators [2020], [20] who demonstrated an average number of school years for HIVpositive trans women up to 2.9 years lower than the same group with negative serology, in a context where transsexuals as a whole already have a high school dropout rate, resulting in fewer years of study.…”

Representações sociais de travestis profissionais do sexo sobre qualidade de vida

“…Las precarias condiciones de vida son el resultado de la exclusión y marginación social, dirigiendo redes de apoyo frágiles o rotas como principales impulsores, y la exclusión / evasión de las áreas de enseñanza, salud y trabajo. Este contexto da como resultado alternativas insuficientes para la empleabilidad formal y los derechos laborales, colocando entre ellas, el trabajo sexual como una de las únicas formas de (sobre) vida (4)(5)(6)(7) . Se espera que la enfermería, como profesión alineada con los procesos sociales y el proceso saludenfermedad, establezca críticas al esencializar las prácticas y vivencias de los travestis y comprender el carácter biosocial de sus vivencias y existencias.…”

“…Los travestis profesionales del sexo experimentan procesos sociales resultantes de la jerarquía de poderes que legitiman qué vidas importan. Los cuerpos trans están asociados al imaginario social, los fetiches sexuales y la relación de dominación por parte de los clientes, lo que sumado a la falta de acciones de educación en salud y programas de protección social, potencia procesos de vulnerabilidad, resultando en una mayor exposición a infecciones de transmisión sexual (ITS), violencia física, verbal, psicológica y sexual, discriminación, estigma y enfermedades psicosociales que impactarán su calidad de vida (4)(5)(6)(7)9) . La Teoría de las Representaciones Sociales (TRS) posibilita un aporte teóricocientífico para la comprensión de las vivencias cotidianas de personas y grupos sociales, como los travestis.…”
