“…Although most participants in this study were heterosexual, which can be justified by the stimulus to early sexuality and the possibility of paid sex (26) , homosexuals are the ones who are strongly stigmatized and linked to large manifestations of exclusion and blamed for HIV infection (22,27) ; this is similar to what happens with drug users, being labelled and socially excluded (6,18,22,27) . We found that interruption of ART was not predominant in this study.…”

Objective: Analyzing the factors related to perceived stigmatization of people living with HIV. Method: A cross-sectional study conducted from September of 2014 to December 2015 with users from a specialized service in Minas Gerais. Data were collected through individual instrument application, organized in Microsoft Office Excel® 2010 spreadsheets and processed on IBM® SPSS 23.0. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression method were used for data analysis, adopting statistical significance set at 5.0% (p≤0.05). The study development met research ethics standards. Results: 258 users participated in the study. Most were males between 40 and 49 years of age, single, with low educational level and income. Being between 40 and 49 years of age and having been hospitalized for complications related to HIV were positively associated predictors to increased stigmatization; while not having comorbidities and not being aware of exposure to HIV were predictors associated to reduced stigmatization. Conclusion: Given these results, we highlight that stigmatization can have an impact on the lives of people living with HIV, strengthening their feelings of guilt and shame, which can lead to depression, social isolation and abandoning treatment and clinical follow-up.

“…(Velho et al, 2010). Salienta-se que o sexo anal quando realizado sem o preservativo pode ser um risco para infecção pelo HIV, como foi demonstrado em estudo que 79% dos homens haviam mantido relações sexuais anais desprotegidos (Garcia, Albuquerque, Drezett, & Adami, 2016), tendo em vista que o sexo anal sem o uso do preservativo o risco de transmissão de DST/HIV é cinco vezes maior, pois o ânus durante a penetração na atividade sexual pode sofrer lesões (Nicolau et al, 2012).…”

“…A temática da população transgênera com as IST e a AIDS são abordadas nos quatro artigos (Ferreira, Pedrosa, & Nascimento, 2018;Garcia, Albuquerque, & Adami, 2016;Rocon, Rodrigues, Zamboni, & Pedrini, 2016;Souza & Pereira, 2015). Segundo Calderaro et al (2008) Calderaro et al (2008) apontaram que a saúde da população transgênera não pode ser restrita ao campo da IST/AIDS, pois, segundo os autores, todas as doenças físicas e psíquicas podem atingir a população como um todo, além de que ao buscarem cuidados de saúde se depararem com situações que não ocorreriam na vida de quem está inserido no binarismo heteronormativo.…”

Thus, four articles were fully retrieved for analysis (thematic content analysis) in three thematic categories: SUS (Brazilian public health care system) care, use of social name, sexual infections and AIDS.
