“…Condoms tend to be not used in relationships and erotic-affective contexts associated with stability and/or agreements of trust and loyalty. These aspects are in line with the study by Rios (2003) in spaces of homoerotic interaction in Rio de Janeiro. Gondim & Kerr-Pontes' (2000) research with men who engage in gay and bisexual practices in Fortaleza also reveals that behavior which ignores or engages in less-safe sex is linked to pleasure seeking, distance from the reality of HIV/AIDS, and low involvement with gay organizations.…”

This paper analyzes the perceptions of risk for HIV transmission and the formation of sexual identities and gender of young men and women of different sexual orientations and color/race. The study is based on ethnographic observation in a variety of nocturnal social environments in Rio de Janeiro and interviews with young people within this context. The findings show that our informants have assimilated preventive information regarding HIV, but have difficulties in adopting consistent condom use. There are variations in HIV risk perception associated with sexual identities and gender: gay men see themselves and are perceived by others as the most vulnerable group. Among youth who claim heterosexual practices, susceptibility to HIV is associated with "others". Lesbians see themselves as not being at risk for AIDS. It can be concluded that sexual identities and gender influence the perception of AIDS risk. However, being social, sexual identities are contextual and can vary over the course of a person's life. Our results underscore the importance of the current debate regarding the implications of fixing identity labels to social and political movements.

This study focuses on the research output in the relationship between males and health in the public health field. The objective is to critically analyze the most recurrent ideas on the specificities of maleness in the health-disease process. The method consisted of a literature review in public health, based on a qualitative research approach. Male sexuality, masculinity, and reproduction and masculinity and power were the themes found in the analysis. The study concludes that further research on masculinity is needed with a focus on gender, nationality, class, age, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.

“…Men are more likely to be authors in two instances: first, in studies with a maternal-infant perspective, 1,12,59,88,89 especially those published in the 1980s, and then afterwards, in the emerging field of masculinity studies 14,39,40,45 and, to some degree, in studies concerning AIDS and sexuality 49,63,76 in the 1990s. But the unique article on feminist theory and medical sociology 23 was written by two male authors.…”

The differences in health between men and women have been object of great interest, but interpretations tend to be naturalized and essentialists. Gender-oriented studies have criticized this literature and offered new analythical alternatives. The present study was intended to describe the profile and trends of scientific production on gender and health in Brazil. Data sources comprised the Research Groups Directory of Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (National Research Council), CAPES (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel) Thesis Bank, and four journals available in SciELO -Scientific Eletronic Library Online. Fifty-one groups with at least one line of research in the subject were identified, with regional and institutional concentrations. The results confirmed the marked growth of scientific production in this field as 98 master and 42 doctoral dissertations and 665 articles on gender and health were retrieved. Women authored 86.0% and 89.0% of doctoral and master dissertations respectively, and 70.5% of the articles. Most were published in the 2000s when diversification of the studied topics was also seen. The studied subjects can be divided into five subgroups: reproduction and contraception; gender and violence; sexuality and health with emphasis on STD/ AIDS; work and health, including domestic and night work; other emergent or less explored topics. There are major political, epistemological and methodological challenges for strengthening these advancements. The gender perspective offers possibilities for enlightment of theoretical dilemmas in public health. Furthermore, it can be added to other intellectual and political efforts towards understanding health and its determinants and fighting against inequalities and for social justice.
