MARTINS, Maria Isabel Morgan; ALVES, Camila da Silva e SANTOS, Ana Maria Pujol Vieira dos. Profile of sexually exposed individuals attended in a specialized care service STD/AIDS. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2020, vol.19, n.60, pp.379-408. Epub 21-Dez-2020. ISSN 1695-6141. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.422511.
Objective:
The aim of the study was to identify the profile of the individuals searching for care in a Specialized Care Service (SCS) in HIV/AIDS for guidance, prevention and prophylaxis for HIV after sexual exposure.
Methods:
Quantitative, descriptive study, based on secondary data from 312 service reports from December 2010 to December 2014 in an SCS in Porto Alegre/Brazil. The selected data were: age; sex; exposure routes; positive / negative cases in the first test; return for follow-up and antiretrovirals used in prophylaxis.
Results:
Male gender predominated (73.7%), the age group with the highest incidence was between 20 and 39 years old (75.1%). The most chosen route for sexual practice was the vaginal one with 52.6%. In 63.3% of cases, patients were unaware of their partners' serology and 35.7% knew their partner had the HIV virus, but did not use a condom. Even if exposed to partners with unknown or known HIV serology, 61.6% did not return to SCS. The two most prescribed antiretrovirals were those recommended by the Ministry of Health at the time.
Conclusion:
It is suggested to implement measures and campaigns to assist in the prevention of AIDS and, also, reinforce the importance of carrying out all stages of monitoring after sexual exposure.
