“…According to the authors, the incipient access to information on the subject increases while these women silence their sexual practices because of the lack of dialogue and the assumption of the health professional that they are heterosexual. 26 Similar results have been found in studies that prevention of STI/HIV in men. 27,28 Predominantly, these studies denounce male vulnerability due to stigma and discrimination, also present in health services.…”

Objective: To understand the routines of sexuality constructed by nurses and the interface with attention in STI/HIV in primary health care. Method: Qualitative study, anchored in the theory of sexual scripts. A total of 35 in-depth interviews were conducted with nurses from the Family Health Strategy between May and August 2017. The material was organized using MAXQDA Standard 12® software and was submitted to Structural Analysis of Narration and content. Results: The analysis of participants' trajectories allowed the construction of three categories: sexuality scripts in childhood and adolescence; scripts of sexuality in formation; sexuality scripts and STI/HIV care. Conclusion and implications for practice: Sexuality scripts are marked by stereotypes, constructed throughout life, and result in obstacles to STI/HIV prevention practices. It was pointed out the need for investments in vocational training processes that focus on the paradigm shift in health and consider the cultural constructions that hinder the insertion of sexuality into care practices, with emphasis on preventive actions in STI/HIV.

“…Of the participants who reported having a male sexual partner in the past year (23.4%), less than half used condoms during sexual encounters (Pinto et al, 2005). Similarly, 77.5% of SMW in a cross-sectional study conducted in Argentina reported not using any barrier protection (e.g., dental dams) during sexual encounters with women (Silberman et al, 2016). da Silva Oliveria et al (2017) investigated knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to HIV risk in 94 WSW in Brazil.…”

Objectives: Despite research documenting significant health disparities among sexual minority women (lesbian, bisexual, and other non-heterosexual women) in high-income countries, few studies of sexual minority women's health have been conducted in low-and middle-income countries. The purpose of this scoping review was to examine the empirical literature related to the health disparities and health needs of sexual minority women in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), and to identify research gaps and priorities. Design: A scoping review methodology was used. Data sources: We conducted a comprehensive search of seven electronic databases. The search strategy combined keywords in three areas: sexual minority women, health, and LAC. English, Spanish, and Portuguese language studies published through 2017 in peer-reviewed journals were included. Review methods: A total 1471 articles were retrieved. An additional 5 articles were identified following descendancy search; 3 of these met inclusion criteria. After removal of duplicates and title and abstract screening, we screened the full text of 37 articles, of which 22 (representing 18 distinct studies) met inclusion criteria. At least two authors independently reviewed and abstracted data from all articles.

Introduction: The attitude of medical students towards homosexuality may affect the quality of care for homosexual patients. This study aimed to describe the attitude of medical students at the National University of Asuncion, Paraguay towards homosexuality. Methods: This observational, cross-sectional study was conducted in June 2016 in consecutive medical students from the National University of Asunción (Santa Rosa del Aguaray branch), Paraguay. The 10-item attitude towards homosexuality scale (EAH-10) was used to assess participants' acceptance/ rejection of homosexuals as individuals, homosexuality as a sexual orientation, and public manifestations of homosexuality. Results: A total of 48 female and 29 male participants (mean age, 21 ± 2 years) were included. Most were Catholic (71.4%), followed by non-Catholic Christian (10.4%), agnostic (9.1%), atheist (2.6%), and other (6.5%). 71.4% reported having at least one homosexual friend. The mean EAH-10 score was 27.23 ± 9.379. 42.9% of participants were indifferent or undecided in their attitude towards homosexuality and 28.6% were discriminatory. Having homosexual friends was associated with a lower EAH-10 score (t =-3.447 [75], p = 0.001). Conclusion: Education about health issues of homosexuals is needed for medical students in Paraguay.
