As dificuldades de adaptação do convívio social de pacientes portadores de HIV/AIDS

Abstract

Quantitative study of a descriptive nature undertaken at Unidade de Referência em Doenças Infecciosas Preveníveis da Faculdade de Medicina do ABC designed to evaluate the prejudices that still exist in relation to HIV or AIDS patients, as well as their reasons and to investigate the difficulties in social adaptation of those patients. The sample comprised 20 HIV/AIDS patients seen from the Reference Unit and for data collection used a questionnaire. Most (11, 55%) of respondents reported an impact on their lives after the discovery of HIV seropositivity, usually in social life (friends, family and health services). It was found that the lack of knowledge about the disease is a factor of prejudice. In this study we could confirm the existence of prejudice related to HIV-positive patients, even after three decades of the first occurrence of HIV/AIDS.

“…A critical view of the professor as moderator of a citizen teaching on HIV/AIDS, must also be aware of the ethical matter (1) . AIDS brought up essential ethical issues, baring a variety of legal challenges (2) .…”

“…Since the beginning of the discovery of HIV/ AIDS in the mid-twentieth century to the present day, several areas of knowledge are showing different concerns, from care to facing the problem of prejudice to the individuals infected by the virus (1)(2)(3) . Among these approaches, we found issues related to nursing care in two dimensions: daily care with these people in hospitals, and also, how could we train professionals so that they are capable of understanding the complexity of this disease, in its psychosocial dimension.…”

Cardiovascular risk in HIV/AIDS and Lipodystrophy Syndrome patients

“…An increase in metabolic disorders (dyLSipidaemia, insulin resistance) and phenotypic changes (lipodystrophy syndrome) was, however, noted in patients treated with HAART, in addition to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (coronary artery disease and stroke) [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. There is a lack of studies that assess the cardiovascular risk for patients with HIV/AIDS compared to HIV/AIDS with LS, which requires changes to HIV treatment.…”
