“…These findings show the pauperization trend of the epidemic with an increase of cases in individuals with low education 18 . Regarding the mode of transmission, marital status and sexual behavior, studies 18,19 have suggested a change in the behavior of the disease, with heterosexualization of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and greater growth of heterosexual men infected, as well as the predominance of this mode of transmission of the disease, corroborating with the findings of this research 16,17 .…”

“…Regarding education, in this study, 62% of the subjects had primary and secondary education, similar data to those released by the Brazilian Ministry of Health 2 . According to Vieira et al 17 , in Brazil, 62.4% of people with HIV/AIDS have education up to high school, which is indicator of socioeconomic status between low and middle income. These findings show the pauperization trend of the epidemic with an increase of cases in individuals with low education 18 .…”

The aim of this study was to describe metabolic changes in HIV/AIDS patients according to the treatment regimen. It was a retrospective cohort conducted from 2002 to 2014. Researchers surveyed clinical variables and treatment regimen of 538 individuals. They used measures of central tendency and marginal logistic regression to determine the influence of the treatment regimen on clinical variables over time; survival was estimated using Kaplan-Meier curves. 56.2% of patients were male, 82.2% white, 33.8% had 4 to 7 years of study, 49.2% were married, 98.5% had sexual transmission, and 89.0% were heterosexuals. During the study period, 24.4% had hypertension, 18.2% changed cholesterol, 39.7% low HDL, 51.3% high triglycerides and 33.3% hyperglycemia. Treatment regimens with nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors associated with protease inhibitors, and the association of different classes of antiretrovirals have been associated with greater lipid changes. Higher metabolic changes were observed in patients with longer treatment time. It is concluded that preventive measures, as well as early treatment, can contribute to minimize the risks of developing cardiovascular diseases.

“…This idea refers to the fact that AIDS is associated with sexual behaviors considered as deviant, such as bestiality, by groups from the poorest continent of the world, where social inequalities are more pronounced. (14) This notion is part of the prejudice of Western society to society who considers her uncivilized for adopting unusual sexual practices, which is seen as deviant by the Catholic Church. This finding demonstrates another disagreement, since only part of the group associated HIV/AIDS as an infection related to socially marginalized people.…”

Sexually transmitted infections are among the most common public health problems worldwide. Female and male infertility, mother to child transmission, causing miscarriages or congenital disease, and increased risk for Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection (HIV) are some of their consequences. In Sub-Saharan Africa countries, such as Mozambique, the prevalence of these infections is high, women being those who carry the higher burden. Thus we developed this cross-sectional study with objective of characterizing some sexually transmitted infections, HIV infection, syphilis and trichomoniasis in pregnant women, verifying if their management was in accordance with guidelines and recommendations in the country and identifying practice, Knowledge and associated risk factors. Samples were collected from 253 pregnant women attending Centro de Saúde de Maxixe. Vaginal samples were obtained and observed microscopically by wet mount and direct microscopic examination (Trichomonas vaginalis). HIV antibody testing was performed with the tests Determine HIV-1/2 and Uni-GoldTM and against, T. pallidum by RPR, SD BIOLINE Syphilis 3.0 and Determine TP tests in plasma samples. In this study, 11.1% of the pregnant women were infected with HIV, 2.8% with active syphilis, 5.1% with Trichomonas vaginalis and 9.1% with yeast. Antibodies against T. pallidum were identified in 8,3% of these women. In relation to HIV, 7, 5% of them were new cases. Samples were taken from 253 pregnant women attending ante-natal outpatient consultation at the health centre, which were informed about the nature of the study and submitted to a semi-structured interview after signing the free informed consent. In this study, the inconsistency on condoms use and the existence of multiple partners by the participants contributing for these infections transmission. Participants have shown that they had information about these infections modes of transmission, as also which measures to use to prevent them. A significant number of women present with any symptom related to infections that were diagnosed to them, proving that the use of syndrome approach in vaginal discharge must be given some thought in relation to its value in this situation. The data obtained in this study shows that some gaps also exist in the prenatal care clinics of this Centre, from routine procedures that are not performed in accordance with MISAU recommendations. The high prevalence of some STI found in this population, their risk behavior, together with the non-observance of some guidelines in the management of those infections by the health personal very worrying. The implementation of a teaching program on quality control, prevention and management of these infections by the health professional seems to us to be of utmost importance, so these can act in accordance with the present guidelines and transmit correct information to the pregnant women who attend prenatal care.
