“…A study carried out in a Government Health Clinic in Rio de Janeiro showed that teamwork in the FHS context allows a better communicative and collaborative practice in which different professionals value each other's work and share common goals. 22 Regarding the facilities for the implementation of the rapid HIV test in the FHS, the reduction in the delay for HIV results represents a significant advance in the fight against the HIV/ AIDS epidemic, 23 since the lack of agility in giving the test results using conventional methodologies is common in many parts of Brazil. In Rio de Janeiro, the time to deliver test results attained using the laboratory method ranged from 7-40 days, while with the rapid HIV test the delay is 15 minutes.…”

“…The simple method is one of the aspects that characterize it as a good alternative in the diagnosis of HIV, since conventional laboratory tests are operationally complex, requiring specialized professionals and an appropriate laboratory infrastructure. 23 On the other hand, rapid HIV testing does not require a specialized laboratory or professionals, or specialized collection and transportation, which facilitates the individual's access to the test. 23 However, the limited number of tests, identified as one difficulty experienced by the nurses in this study, leads to many professionals not attending the spontaneous demand and to prioritizing certain groups, such as pregnant women.…”

“…A testagem dos anticorpos anti-HIV é apontada como um melhoramento da tecnologia no diagnóstico da infecção pelo vírus, uma vez que não necessita de execuções anteriores de maior complexidade, além de reduzir o período do diagnóstico, proporcionando ao paciente o conhecimento da sorologia já no momento inicial (6) . Diante disso, discutir sobre o manejo clínico das IST/HIV, com enfoque nos desafios para efetivação da prevenção da doença, propicia conduzir os profissionais de saúde a reverem sua prática profissional e avaliarem limitações tanto suas quanto do sistema de saúde onde estão inseridos o profissional e o portador.…”

“…Trata-se, antes, de um exercício de síntese e eminentemente introdutó-rio. Esse exercício vem no seguimento e, em certa medida, é fomentado por anteriores trabalhos sobre a AIDS enquanto objeto de estudo e de intervenção social 5,6,7,8,9,10,11 , abordando, todavia, aspetos mais relacionados com as políticas e os procedimentos de prevenção, dimensões de aná-lise pouco consideradas nas reflexões precedentes. Por outro lado, é ancorado empiricamente em múltiplas fontes estatísticas e documentais que proporcionam os elementos indispensáveis para compor uma imagem de conjunto, em nível nacional, das orientações e dos processos mais marcantes no controle da propagação do HIV.…”
