“…On the other hand, the conscience of the risks to which they are exposed has not made the respondents feel like they needed to undergo an Researches presented ample knowledge regarding the use of condoms to prevent the transmission of the virus (89.4%), which corroborates previous researches (BITTENCOURT, 2015;LOZZAROTTO, 2013;PRADO, 2012), according to which the elders recognize the condom as a way to prevent contamination; however, over 80% of the elders of both genders stated not to use the condom when in a sexual intercourse. Probable explanations for this are the high number of females in the research, the high number of sexual inactivity mentioned, and the number of elders who have partners.…”

ABSTRACT:The objective of this study was to analyze the knowledge of elders regarding HIV/AIDS and the sexual quotient of both genders in a Social Center in a town in the countryside of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This is a descriptive, transversal and quantitative study, involving 457 elders who belong to social groups offered by the Facility for the Care of the Elderly (UAI, in the Portuguese acronym), in the town of Uberaba, MG. In this study, the following instruments were used: MEEM to select those with a minimum level of cognition, QHIV3I to evaluate their knowledge, and QS-F/QS-M to measure the sexual quotient. Data was analyzed with the "Statistical Package for Social Sciences" (SPSS), version 20.0. Females represented 74% of participants, 40.5% between 70 and 79 y/o. 51.8% stated not to have a partner. Questions regarding transmission by needles and syringes, had the greatest number of right answers 96.2%. Only 45.1%, however, answered correctly the question about transmission through mosquito bites. 90.2% of the elders know it is possible to detect the virus through laboratory exams. And 88.2% of them stated to have never used a condom in sexual intercourses. Regarding the sexual quotient, 57.7% of the female elders stated to have a bad or null sex life, while only 7.6% of the male stated to have inactive sex lives. Campaigns targeted at this population are necessary, as well as an increase in the awareness of the health professionals, since that would make it possible for them to recognize the sexuality of the elder, and the risks inherent to it.

“…Such actions are described as education for peers, being the result of a partnership established in 2004 between the Brazilian Ministry of Health and the Brazilian Ministry of Defense. Interventions aiming at an eminently masculine and heterosexual public to a lesser extent, undertaken by non-governmental organizations with technical and financial support from federal, state, or local instances, were carried out among truck drivers 27 and the elderly 47 .…”

Heterosexual men have been a forgotten group for HIV/AIDS interventions and research. Our goal was to identify the different elements that interfere in the prevention of HIV/AIDS among heterosexual men, covering both traditional methods of prevention (especially safe sex practices and testing) and new strategies for prevention (pre- and post-sexual exposure prophylaxis, prevention treatment, and circumcision) in this population. This exploratory article consists of a nonsystematic review of the literature. We discuss the invisibility of heterosexual men in policies, in programs, and in health services. The several interventions analyzed are still poorly monitored and evaluated, so there is a lack of consistent evidence regarding the impact of prevention strategies in this population. Different masculinities, including hegemonic conceptions of masculinity, must be the foundation for interventions targeting men. Men must not be seen merely as a "bridge" in the spread of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, but also as victims of gender patterns that make them vulnerable.

“…A literatura confirma os resultados obtidos neste estudo, que o nível de conhecimento dos idosos sobre as DST ou até mesmo o uso de preservativos pelos mesmos, não apresenta associação significativa com as variáveis estudadas 14, [21][22][23] . Os resultados mostraram que os idosos estão, cada vez mais sexualmente ativos, no entanto resistentes quanto ao uso de preservativos [21][22][23] .…”

Trata-se de um estudo transversal com 61 idosos frequentadores de uma associação promotora de atividade de lazer vinculada a órgão público em um município do Estado de São Paulo, cujo objetivo foi avaliar o conhecimento do idoso em relação ao HIV/Aids. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionário aplicado por um único pesquisador. Dentre os investigados, 64% era do sexo feminino; a faixa etária predominante (50,8%) entre 60 e 69 anos e 55,7% não estavam vivendo com o companheiro. Do total, 56% possuía vida sexual ativa, porém 73,5% afirmaram não usar preservativos durante a relação sexual. Observou-se maior atividade sexual para o gênero masculino (81,8%) e entre os participantes que viviam com seus companheiros (92,6%). O não uso do preservativo esteve associado ao gênero feminino (93,8%) e ao fato de viver com o companheiro (88%). Quanto à transmissão do HIV, ainda persiste uma parcela que acredita que beijo na boca (34%); compartilhamento de copos e talheres (18%); uso do mesmo sanitário (25%) e picada de mosquito (30%) são meios de transmissão da doença. Os resultados demonstraram lacunas no conhecimento dos idosos quanto à forma de transmissão e prevenção do HIV, o que remete à vulnerabilidade e desafia a saúde pública, sendo necessário pensar em políticas de criação ou reformulação de ações em saúde para os idosos, visando, além do preenchimento destas lacunas, a contribuição para mudanças de comportamento e adoção de prática sexual segura.
