“…But, even when the interviewees had consistent information on HIV prevention, the different meanings given to behavior and group relations led to confl icts between the reason, desires, and compulsion for drug use. 7,12 According to other studies, the interviewees are aware that drug use lead to several hazards 8 and they see it as a way to react and resist to experiences of economic and affection deprivation. 6 In face of the fragility checked for the access and adherence of IDUs to public health services and to specifi c programs of prevention of re-infection and treatment of AIDS, a new behavior of health professionals is necessary requiring capacity building and improvements to fi ght discriminations and providing better welcome and care.…”

OBJECTIVE:To assess some aspects of vulnerability to HIV infection in women users of injecting drugs. METHODS:Thirteen semi-structured interviews were performed with female drug users (or former users) of injecting drugs, leaving in the East side of São Paulo, in 2002. The script of interviews approached four focal point issues: socioeconomic context and affective relationships, drug use, prevention against HIV and health care. Interviews were assessed through content analysis. RESULTS:Poverty, absence of strong and continuous affective ties, being expelled from the family and school, exposure to violence, institutionalization, drug use, criminality, and discrimination were constant in interviewees' reports. These aspects made it diffi cult to adopt practices for HIV prevention such as the use of condoms, disposable syringes and needles, and looking for health care services. CONCLUSIONS:Vulnerability to HIV infection makes it clear the fragility use have effective access to social, economic and cultural rights, requiring welfare policies of specifi c population segments such as women (children and adolescents), low income citizens, people living in the outskirts, with poor access to educational, cultural and health resources. This access is complicated especially for those that are discriminated by behaviors such as drug use.

“…Encontra âncora em algumas considerações que as ciências sociais têm feito sobre a polissemia que o acompanha 16,17 . Nesse sentido, o risco é uma construção que se dá nas relações dos indivíduos nas suas redes de sociabilidade, sendo que a proteção e exposição ao risco são legitimadas, valorizadas na dinâmica destas interações 18 .…”

Um crescente número de estudos tem conectado sexualidade, gênero e poder para discutir a crescente disseminação do HIV entre mulheres. Apesar dos esforços realizados, ainda são significativos os desafios teóricos e programáticos que a epidemia impõe. O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar como códigos culturais que sancionam a experiência sexual se manifestam na subjetividade de mulheres e orientam suas interpretações e práticas relativas ao risco de infecção pelo HIV. A partir de uma amostra de 15 mulheres com idades entre 18 e 30 anos, com quem foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade, foram reconstituídas três histórias de vida, que focalizavam seus roteiros sexuais. Os dados foram organizados pelo programa Nud-Ist e submetidos à análise de base hermenêutica. É possível notar que os significados e práticas associados ao risco de contrair o HIV variam a depender do momento de vida, da rede de sociabilidade e do tipo de vínculo que é estabelecido com o parceiro. Os achados apontam para a necessidade de compreender os significados sexuais partilhados em contextos específicos, a fim de que se possa elaborar programas de prevenção culturalmente mais sensíveis.

“…HIV/Aids collected data in the last 30 years in Brazil and in the world as well, pointed at a complex and unstable dynamic with significant regional differences and determinants related to individual, social, cultural and political factors, whose interaction results in a bigger or lesser vulnerability of the individual in contracting the HIV virus during his life (4)(5)(6)(7) . In this context, the "behavior" factor plays an important role in the virus transmission chain (8) . However, it must be considered that this factor is strongly influenced by others, such as access to education, health and prevention tools, such as condom.…”

Introduction: the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic is a global, dynamic and unstable phenomenon, whose form of occurrence depends on the individual and collective human behavior, among other factors. Objective: to identify the social and behavioral differences related to the risk of HIV infection, prevalence of HIV and the rate between genders in users of the Testing and Counseling Center (CTA) of the city of Montes Claros, Minas Gerais State. Methods: this is a cross-sectional study. The sample included 1,409 users' records (716 men, 693 women) from the CTA of Montes Claros, from December 2007 to March 2009. For organization and statistical analysis, the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 15.0 was used and a significance level of 5% (p < 0,05) was considered. Results: significant differences (p < 0.05) between genders were found, indicating a higher percentage of singles (65.3%), drug users (73.5%) and those who have had three or more sexual partners (41.9%) during the past year among men. Men used condoms more regularly in fixed (20.1%) and eventual (44.4%) partners. HIV prevalence was of 2% and the rate between the genders was of 1:1. Conclusion: men were engaged in more risk behaviors for HIV, but women were infected in the same proportion. Prevention programs must consider social and cultural components to structure gender inequalities.
