“…Regarding the unit "Did not know inform", it highlighted the lack of knowledge of older people about HIV/AIDS, which exposes the association of the problems between the education level and the risk for acquiring HIV/AIDS. Studies show that the level of education is an important factor to assess the vulnerability to HIV/AIDS in a given population, given that the number of cases is higher in the strata with less schooling, referring to the condition worse coverage of surveillance systems and health care among the poor economically, under the assumption that the level of education is an important variable of social stratification [14,17,23].

“…Although the imprisoned women have attached to forms of prevention to represent AIDS, contents such as fear, death and anguish are still rooted in collective emotions, being a product of social representations marked at the beginning of the epidemic, but still circulating in the scientific means, in mass communication, in social media and in popular thought, generating prejudice, stigma and negative represen-tations (17)(18)(19) . Moreover, such representations are also anchored in psychosocial dimensions, such as the fear of rejection and contempt that adds to the suffering due to the possibility of prejudice to which these women are exposed (2,(19)(20) . Therefore, they often prefer to hide the disease as a form of social resistance not to be discriminated against it.…”

“…This brings up the issues of trust and fidelity, since, because they believe they are in a stable relationship, they are not at risk of acquiring the infection.

“…This finding may be justified by the wide dissemination of knowledge regarding hormonal contraceptives, especially among young people. Furthermore, condom use is still being surrounded by myths and beliefs that this affects the pleasure in sexual intercourse and that it must be used only with partners that the person does not know well or trust [13].…”
