“…Behavior that increases the risk of infection by HIV and other STIs is not necessarily a consequence of lack of information on how to prevent infection, but of worldviews that are the result of social experiences in which the risk is minimized or over-recognized, as argued by Corossacz (2004).…”

“…The results of that study showed that, even today, women are associated with household chores, with unpaid work in the home, and with the affective and moral domain, whereas it is men who occupy public space and are considered women's providers and http: //dx.doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2017.09.22 Corresponding Author: Ana Luísa Patrão Selection and peer-review under 239 protectors.

Women's anatomy and physiology place them at a higher risk of contracting the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) compared to men. In addition, certain cultural and social issues increase women's vulnerability to STIs. This descriptive literature review analyzed the different problems comprising relationship contexts as factors involved in the promotion of sexual health and the prevention of STIs in women. Data were obtained from classic authors who reported on how gender roles and imbalances in male-female relationships interfere with the prevention of STIs in women. For this, a systematic search was made of databases included in the Biblioteca Científica Online (B-on). Based on the selected articles evaluated, relationship-associated factors such as gender power imbalance, negative attitudes regarding condom use, and poverty and financial inequalities, as well as inadequate communication between partners were found to place women at risk of acquiring STIs. Since factors within relationships may play a significant role in STI prevention in various ways, it is relevant to take relationship characteristics into consideration when designing interventions aimed at promoting sexual health and preventing HIV/AIDS and other STIs in women. STI prevention programs should target both sexes and should focus strongly on increasing women's capacity to negotiate and communicate with their partners.
