“…To worsen the picture, facing the condition of women deprived of freedom, in total economic restriction, is like placing them in parallel places that are main universal sources of AIDS-related stigmatization and discrimination. There is the stigma related to sexuality, the stigma related to gender, the stigma related to race or ethnicity -which is paraphrased here as the groups where they belong -and the stigma related to economic marginalization or poverty (7) . The irreversible nature of the consequences of AIDS is the worst characteristic of this disease: the fact that it is incurable.…”

“…Although there is a set of therapeutic procedures and a consequent change in the meaning of living with the infection, the social representations (SR) of AIDS still remain closely associated with exclusion and lack of morality. In societies where the infection affected women, this fact became typically associated with inappropriate sexual behavior, according to the local gender rules (7) . Therefore, the focus of this study is to point out the characteristics of the subjective experience of women deprived of freedom.…”

OBJECTIVE To graspthe AIDS social representations built by freedom-deprived women. METHOD Descriptive study with a quali-quantitative approach that involved 174 convicted women in a women's prison in a capital city of the Brazilian northeastern region. Aword-association test was applied in October and November 2014, using AIDS as a stimulus. The corpuswas processed usingIramuteq software. Descending Hierarchical Classification and Correspondence Factor Analysis were applied. RESULTS The content that comprises the social representation of AIDS was influenced by the prison context, which was pervaded by a lack of assistance, lack of knowledge, discrimination, and suffering that disclosed vulnerability to HIV/AIDS factors such as unprotected sex and object sharing. This underlines the stigma and fear of the illness, in addition to favoring and supporting negative feelings and a sense of rejection. CONCLUSION To consider the use of this representational amalgam to ensure a comprehensive, contextualized care can help redirect practices, motivate self-care practices, and reduce prejudiced attitudes.

“…However, scientifi c evidence showed that, despite having knowledge about STDs and ways of transmission and prevention, high rates of unprotected sex were reported among sexual minorities, particularly among gay and transgender individuals 21,22 . Still concerning the vulnerability of LGBT individuals to STDs, subjects mentioned the use of alcohol and drugs as an aggravating factor, since the marginalisation experienced by the group was identifi ed as a condition that enhanced the chances of unsafe behaviour.…”

“…This idea was corroborated by a survey in a large city in the north-east Brazil with 110 transvestites, most of which (75.2%) had low educational levels and were involved in prostitution (71.8%). This revealed that the low educational attainment, together with the stigma and discrimination, hindered the entry of such people into the formal labour market, which made prostitution more likely to be their main source of income 22 . It was noticeable in some comments that prostitution was often confi gured as an attractive way to achieve the idealised feminisation, where the exchange of sex, protected or not, for money ensured access to silicone prosthetics, which reconfi gured the male body.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the social representations (SR) of health and major inequities, obstacles and challenges experienced by lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgenders regarding access to health services. Methods: This qualitative research was conducted with a group of sexual minorities recruited using the snowball technique. The data were organised according to Bardin and analysed from the perspective of SR. Results: Twelve gays, nine transvestites, six lesbians and three bisexuals participated. Most believed health to be the absence of disease and indicated the group's vulnerability to sexually transmitted diseases. The search for health services was motivated by pathological symptoms or screening for sexually transmitted diseases. The diffi culties were related to the defi ciencies of the health service regarding prejudice. Conclusions:The study population showed reductionist health representations, sought health services under the curative perspective and faced challenges/obstacles when accessing health services.

“…Contudo, apesar de muito empenho na ampliação e discussão da temática, ainda há o que se desmistificar. No que tange à produção científica, há maior prevalência de trabalhos relacionados à população LGBT focalizando as Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis (IST) e AIDS (2,3,8,9) . Especificamente no que se refere ao acesso, vale destacá-lo como parte essencial para o cuidado da saúde LGBT.…”

Métodos: Pesquisa exploratória, com abordagem qualitativa, realizada em Unidades Básicas de Saúde vinculadas à rede de Atenção Básica, em Teresina, Piauí, Brasil, da qual participaram (n=19) lésbicas, gays, bissexuais, travestis e transexuais (LGBT). Os dados foram coletados no ano de 2016, através de quatro grupos focais e por meio da questão norteadora "Como vocês gostariam de ver o acesso, a qualidade e o modo de organização das ações e serviços a serem ofertados para a população LGBT?", e foram analisados por meio da análise de conteúdo. Resultados: Emergiram quatro categorias interpretativas, uma para cada grupo estudado: Atendimento ginecológico às lésbicas; O gay afeminado nos serviços de saúde; Em busca da equidade para as travestis; O nome social para as mulheres transexuais no SUS. As lésbicas informaram que enfrentam barreiras no acesso aos serviços de saúde e no atendimento ginecológico; para os gays, o acesso é fragilizado para aqueles afeminados; já para as travestis, a equidade do cuidado, através de ambulatórios específicos, foi apontada como estratégia importante; e, para as mulheres transexuais, o uso do nome social deveria ser incorporado na rotina dos serviços de saúde. Conclusão: Há uma emergência no acesso às redes de atenção à saúde integral da população LGBT, com o intuito de promover a inclusão em seus diversos equipamentos sociais, promulgar o respeito e facilitar práticas de equidade.Descritores: Minorias Sexuais; Acesso aos Serviços de Saúde; Assistência à Saúde.
