HIV infection has been more frequent among men, with the main route of transmission being sexual, and mostly in heterosexual relationships 2,20,21 .…”

“…The result was similar to that observed in other studies carried out in different regions of Brazil 2,20,21,24,25 . HIV infection has been more frequent among men, with the main route of transmission being sexual, and mostly in heterosexual relationships 2,20,21 . Consistent data in the literature show less concern about health by the male population and, consequently, less search for health services 24 .…”

“…The increase in cases of HIV/AIDS in older people has been observed since 1990 9 . This increase is attributed to socioeconomic aspects such as: unfavorable economic conditions, low perception of the risk of acquiring the infection, unprotected sexual practice and the lack of information about the disease 6,8,12,20,21 . The lack of health campaigns that address older people sexuality and the taboo on sexuality in this population may contribute to health professionals not providing guidance on protective practices 21 .…”

Objective To analyze the temporal trend of the incidence rate of new HIV/AIDS cases in the old-aged, from 2007 to 2020, in the state of Bahia, in the Northeast Region and in Brazil. Methods Ecological time series study, using secondary data from 2007 to 2020 in an elderly population. Calculations of the HIV/AIDS incidence rate and frequency distribution of sociodemographic characteristics and exposure categories were performed. Simple linear regression models were estimated for trend analysis and calculated by the annual percentage change (APC). Results In Brazil, during the study period, there was stability in the trend of the HIV/AIDS incidence rate for the general population and for both sexes. In the Northeast there was an increase for the general (APC=6.4%), for males (APC=6.9%) and females (APC=6.5%). In Bahia, there was an increase for the general (APC=7.4%) and male sex (APC=7.4%), and stability for females. Higher proportions of new cases in the elderly were observed in males, whites (Brazil), blacks (Northeast and Bahia), low education and heterosexual exposure category. Conclusion Attention should be paid to the increase in cases in individuals in the third age seeking to demystify taboos about the sexuality of the elderly in order to promote the adoption of health promotion measures, aiming at reducing the transmission of the virus.

“…O aumento nos casos de HIV/aids em idosos já tem sido observado desde 1990 9 . Atribui-se a esse crescimento aspectos socioeconômicos como: condição econômica desfavorável, baixa percepção do risco de adquirir a infecção, prática sexual desprotegida e a falta de informação sobre a doença 6,8,12,20,21 . A falta de campanhas de saúde que abarquem a sexualidade idosa e o tabu a respeito da sexualidade nessa população podem contribuir para que profissionais de saúde não orientem a respeito de práticas protetoras 21 .…”

Resumo Objetivo Analisar a tendência temporal da taxa de incidência de casos novos de HIV/aids em idosos, de 2007 a 2020, no estado da Bahia, na Região Nordeste e no Brasil. Métodos Estudo ecológico de séries temporais com uso de dados secundários, no período de 2007 a 2020, em população de idosos. Foram realizados cálculos da taxa de incidência de HIV/aids e distribuição de frequências das características sociodemográficas e categorias de exposição. Modelos de regressão linear simples foram estimados para análise de tendência e calculada a variação percentual anual (VPA). Resultados No Brasil, no período estudado, observou-se estabilidade na tendência da taxa de incidência de HIV/aids para o geral e para ambos os sexos. No Nordeste, houve aumento para o geral (VPA=6,4%), para o sexo masculino (VPA=6,9%) e feminino (VPA=6,5%). Na Bahia houve aumento para o geral (VPA=7,4%) e sexo masculino (VPA=7,4%), e estabilidade para sexo feminino. Maiores proporções de casos novos foram em idosos de 60 a 69 anos, no sexo masculino, em brancos (Brasil), negros (Nordeste e Bahia), baixa escolaridade e categoria de exposição heterossexual. Conclusão Deve-se atentar ao aumento de casos em indivíduos na terceira idade buscando desmistificar tabus a respeito da sexualidade dos idosos, a fim de promover adoção de medidas de promoção de saúde que visem à diminuição da transmissão do vírus.

“…The number of infections among people aged 50 years and older has steadily increased. This increase is because older people can contract the virus, and already infected people live longer (Brandão et al, 2020;Tavares et al, 2019). However, sexual behavior among older people tends to be neglected, even by health care professionals .…”

Objective: This study aims to understand the social representations of old age LGBT (lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transvestites, and transgenders) among adults living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in Brazil. Method: 111 people from 21 Brazilian states participated in the study, with a mean age of 42 years, most of the men (85%), homosexuals (75%), single (85%), and without religion (34%). For data collection, a sociodemographic questionnaire was used; a structured interview was also used; both instruments were applied online. Results: The classes of representations shared by the investigated group are structured in three main axes: Old age of LGBT people; Old age of people living with HIV; Intersectionality, and commonalities between groups. Conclusions: The representations directed to the specificities of each group were: Older LGBT people, connected to loneliness and discrimination; People living with HIV, related to the continuous use of medication. The common and intersectoral experiences for both groups are those related to the experience of stigma and social exclusion. Thus, based on the representations expressed, one can see the need for an intersectional understanding of the groups being investigated and the importance of countering the negative stereotypes to which these people are subjected.
