“…There are also factors that facilitate the high spread of this disease, such as marginalization, low socioeconomic level and the precarious conditions of the health system. Many of them often have sex without using a condom in homosexual practices, share syringes when using illicit drugs intravenously and tattoo their skin without good hygiene conditions [4].…”

Background Hepatitis C is a health problem in penitentiaries and its elimination must be strengthened. The study describes socio-epidemiological aspects of a hepatitis C investigation in a penitentiary in the region of Triângulo Mineiro in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods It is a cross-sectional and epidemiological survey, with an exploratory, observational, quantitative element. It was carried out in a state penitentiary with 1564 inmates. A semi-structured individual interview and anti-HCV testing were carried out between December 2019 and March 2020, in a simple random sample of 240 prisoners. Results The prevalence for HCV was 2.1% (anti-HCV test). Most participants were men (76.6%), with a mean age of 33.8 years, with incomplete high school educational level (80.5%). 93.8% self-reported heterosexuality, multiple sexual partners (mean of 6.5 partners/year) and inconsistent condom use. 54.2% had undergone a previous surgical procedure. Regarding alcohol use, 72.9% reported some consumption, at an average amount of 188.5 grams/day. Non-injecting drug use was reported by 70% of participants and cigarette by 56.3%. Other aspects were the recurrence of imprisonment (70.4%) and having the tattoos (75.8%). Conclusion The study supports the organization of epidemiological survey protocols, the construction of intersectoral health projects and the description of the prison population's vulnerabilities.

Objetivo: identificar as temáticas relacionadas à saúde das pessoas privadas de liberdade no Brasil, abordadas em periódicos científicos, e correlacioná-las com as diretrizes da Política Nacional de Atenção à Saúde das Pessoas Privadas de Liberdade no Sistema Prisional (PNAISP), em vigência. Metodologia: tratou-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura, realizada nas bases de dados da Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde, National Library of Medicine e Scopus e resultando em 37 artigos selecionados. Resultados e discussão: as temáticas relacionadas à saúde das pessoas privadas de liberdade no Brasil, discutidas nos artigos, estão alicerçadas na perspectiva curativista, com ênfase nas doenças infectocontagiosas, havendo poucos estudos sobre ações promotoras de saúde. A maior parte dos estudos se ocupou da diretriz Controle e/ou redução de agravos mais frequentes, em detrimento das demais diretrizes da PNAISP. Conclusão: a superação da perspectiva curativista nos cuidados em saúde de pessoas presas pressupõe o fomento de ações promotoras de saúde, que fortaleçam a implementação das diretrizes da política de saúde prisional brasileira. Este estudo contribui com a reflexão sobre a saúde nas prisões ao reconhecer das diretrizes estruturantes da PNAISP. Submetido em: 12/05/22 | Aprovado em: 30/06/22
