Perfil epidemiológico dos clientes com HIV/AIDS da unidade ambulatorial de hospital escola de grande porte: município de São Paulo

Abstract

This study aimed to characterize the epidemiological profile of patients with HIV/AIDS at an outpatient service, to analyze the infection stage on the patient's first return, lethality and program evasion. A descriptive and analytical epidemiological study was carried out during nursing appointments with 1837 clients. Most participants were men (1.71 men/1 woman), between 30 and 39 years old (46.8%); residents in São Paulo (86.5%); low education level (76.3%). Most women were living with partners (45.4%), whereas most men were single (53.3%). The main category of exposure was heterosexual behavior (83.5% among men and 71.2% among women). Both male and female participations discovered their HIV/AIDS positive condition in advanced stages (57%). Opportunistic infection levels were significantly higher (p < 0.05) among men. For men and women, the predominant opportunistic infection was tuberculosis (26.2%). CD4 < 350 results on the first return were significantly higher (p = 0.04) among women. Death risk was greater among women (OR = 1.72), whereas the risk of treatment evasion was greater among men (OR = 1.72).

Nursing Approach to the Control of Tuberculosis: Scientific Publications (2002-2011)

“…Once it had become a field of interest to nursing practices in health services, because the nurse and nursing staff in most cases are primarily responsible for TB case monitoring and supervision of drugs intake (Gabriel et al, 2005;Reiners et al, 2008), we noted that most of the articles were published in journals specific to the nursing area, followed by journals in public health, justified by social and living determinants of TB (Brunello et al, 2011;Vendramini et al, 2006;.…”

Women victims of sexual violence: adherence to chemoprevention of HIV

“…(13) . Thus, it should be highlighted that, in the identified rape cases, the assaulted women are exposed to high HIV infection risks, considering that a study carried out at the outpatient clinic of a teaching hospital in São Paulo evidenced heterosexual relations as the main form of HIV/AIDS exposure, representing 83.5% of cases (14) .…”
