“…In turn, the high rates of AIDS deaths located in Parnaíba, on the Piauí coast, may be related to the large influx of tourists who are attracted not only by the beautiful landscapes, but also by sex tourism. 31 This study has some limitations that, however, do not make it impossible. The main one related to the use of secondary data, which may present inconsistencies regarding the quantity and quality of information.…”

Objetivo: analisar a distribuição espaço-temporal da mortalidade por aids. Método: trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo, que avaliou 959 óbitos por Aids notificados por meio do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade. Analisou-se a tendência temporal por meio do software Joinpoint Regression Program, versão 4.6.0.0, e a varredura Scan foi empregada para avaliar a formação de clusters puramente espaciais de óbitos, considerando-se um nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: verifica-se que a maioria das mortes ocorreu entre indivíduos do sexo masculino (71,1%), com sete anos de estudo ou menos (79,6%), de raça parda (72,2%) e faixa etária de 30 a 39 anos (69,2%). Registrou-se um aumento estatisticamente significativo da mortalidade por Aids de 5,2% ao ano (p<0,001; IC95%: 1,0-9,5). Observa-se que a varredura espacial apontou para um cluster de óbitos estatisticamente significativo (p<0,0001), que abrangeu 18 municípios, incluindo Oeiras, Parnaíba e os da região metropolitana de Teresina. Conclusão: nota-se que a análise das tendências temporal e espacial demonstrou um aumento significativo da mortalidade ao longo do período estudado, bem como a presença de um aglomerado de óbitos que abrangeu 18 municípios, incluindo Teresina, Oeiras e Parnaíba.

Method: this is a quantitative, descriptive study, which evaluated 959 aids deaths reported through the Mortality Information System. The temporal trend was analyzed using the Joinpoint Regression Program, version 4.6.0.0, and the Scan scanning was used to evaluate the formation of purely spatial clusters of deaths, considering a significance level of 5%. Results: most deaths occurred among males (71.1%), with seven years of schooling or less (79.6%), of pardo race (72.2%) and age group from 30 to 39 years (69.2%). There was a statistically significant increase in AIDS mortality of 5.2% per year (p<0.001; 95% CI: 1.0-9.5). The spatial scanning pointed to a statistically significant cluster of deaths (p<0.0001), which covered 18 municipalities, including Oeiras, Parnaíba and those in the metropolitan region of Teresina. Conclusion: the analysis of temporal and spatial trends showed a significant increased mortality over the period studied, as well as the presence of a cluster of deaths that covered 18 municipalities, including Teresina, Oeiras and Parnaíba.

“…However, research conducted in Ceará has shown that AIDS is associated more with the pace and risky behavior of modern and urban life than with factors related to poverty (7) . Behavioral and cultural factors such as the use of alcohol and other drugs, unprotected sexual practices, multiple partners, issues of sexuality, gender and stigmas increase vulnerability to HIV (24)(25)(26) , which may also explain the increased incidence of infection, justifying the importance of intensifying health promotion and disease prevention actions both in the general population and in the key population, the most affected by the epidemic.…”

Objective: Analyze the spatio-temporal distribution of AIDS cases in Maranhão. Methods: Ecological study of AIDS cases in the Notifiable Diseases Information System, 2011-2018. Gross and adjusted incidences were calculated using the Baysean method; then, the Moran Global and Local Indices to observe the existence of spatial autocorrelation of the cases and for the delimitation of high and low risk clusters. Results: 6,349 cases were reported, which were distributed heterogeneously. There was an advance of cases to new areas and persistence in old areas, such as in the capital São Luís and its surroundings. The dissemination did not occur at random, with positive spatial autocorrelation, with evidence of the formation of clusters in the municipalities of São Luís, São José de Ribamar and Paço do Lumiar. Conclusion: High-risk areas have been identified and should be considered a priority for investment in health, management, and organization of health services.

“… 11 , 55 Although HIV knowledge is particularly high among college students, recognition of the known risks of unprotected sex does not translate into safe sexual behaviors. 16 , 55 Bandura 47 theorized that knowledge alone is not enough, an individual must have the confidence to execute the desired behavior effectively.…”

“… 14 , 15 Other studies conducted among Hispanics however contradict the above findings indicating that abundance of HIV knowledge does not necessarily curtail risky sexual behaviors. 11 , 16 - 18 Given the conflicting results in this topical area, it is possible that other factors other than increased HIV knowledge alone may explain safe sexual practices.…”

Background: Ascribed traditional gender role has rarely been examined in the topical area of protected sex. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between HIV knowledge, ascribed cultural gender roles of machismo and marianismo, acculturation, attitudes toward risky sexual behaviors and sexual self-efficacy on protected sex, and the mediating effect of sexual self-efficacy between these predictors and protected sex. Methods: Part of a larger study, Hispanic college students from a Hispanic-serving institution in a U.S. southern border city were recruited. Results and Conclusion: Sexual self-efficacy was found a significant mitigating factor against sexual risks associated with machismo as well as a positive reinforcing element on attitudes toward protected sex. Study findings have implications toward the development of culturally sensitive evidence-based interventions that promote sexual self-efficacy skills among Hispanic males who strongly identify with culturally ascribed gender roles.
