Incidência e preditores de gestação em mulheres com HIV/Aids no Rio de Janeiro

OBJETIVO: Identificar incidencia y predictores de la primera gestación entre mujeres con VIH/Sida. MÉTODOS: Estudio prospectivo de cohorte conducido en Rio de Janeiro, Sureste de Brasil, entre 1996 y 2003. El estudio incluyó 225 mujeres acompañadas hasta la primera gestación o hasta el primer evento considerado censura (histerectomía, ligadura tubárica, menopausia, 50 años de edad, pérdida de acompañamiento, óbito o final de diciembre de 2003). Se estimaron las tasas de incidencia de gestación y de aborto, y se usaron modelos de riesgos proporcionales de Cox para identificar las características de la visita de inclusión asociadas con el riesgo de gestación. RESULTADOS: Las mujeres fueron acompañadas por 565 persona/años, con promedio de acompañamiento de 3 años por mujer. La edad promedio fue de 32 años (DP:7), y 54,7% eran blancas. Sesenta gestaciones fueron observadas en 39 mujeres y 18 resultaron en abortos inducidos (tasas de incidencia de 6,9% y 2,1% mujeres/año, respectivamente). Las gestaciones repetidas ocurrieron en 33,3% de las mujeres (13/39). Fue observado el mayor riesgo de gestación entre mujeres jóvenes (HR=3,42; IC 95%:1,69;6,95) y entre aquellas que vivían con sus parejas (HR=1,89; IC 95%: 1,00;3,57). El menor riesgo de gestación estuvo asociado a la mayor escolaridad (HR=0,43; IC95%:0,19;0,99) y al uso de terapia antirretroviral (HR=0,61; IC95%:0,31;1,17). CONCLUSIONES: La incidencia de gestación en la cohorte fue menor al compararse con aquella observada en la población general. Características sociodemográficas deben ser consideradas en el manejo de los deseos reproductivos de mujeres VIH-positivas en edad reproductiva. Los programas de VIH/SIDA deben incluir consejos reproductivos y contraceptivos para prevenir la transmisión del VIH para sus parejas y prole.OBJETIVO: Identificar incidência e preditores incidência da primeira gestação entre mulheres com HIV/Aids.

METHODS: Prospective cohort study was conducted in Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil, between 1996 and 2003. This study comprised 225 women with HIV/AIDS followed up until their first pregnancy or first censored event (hysterectomy, tubal ligation, menopause, 50 years of age, loss to follow-up, death or the end of December 2003). Pregnancy and abortion rates were estimated, and Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify baseline characteristics associated with pregnancy risk. RESULTS: The women were followed up for 565 person/years with a median follow-up of 3 years per women. The mean age was 32 years (SD: 7), and 54.7% were white. There were 60 pregnancies in 39 women, and 18 were terminated (induced abortions), accounting for a rate of 6.9% and 2.1% women/year, respectively. Repeated pregnancies occurred in 33.3% of the women (13/39). Higher pregnancy risk was seen among younger women (HR=3.42; 95%CI: 1.69;6.95) and those living with their partners (HR=1.89; 95%CI: 1.00;3.57). Lower pregnancy risk was associated with higher education level (HR=0.43; 95%CI: 0.19;0.99) and use of antiretroviral therapy (HR=061; 95%CI: 0.31;1.17). CONCLUSIONS: Lower pregnancy rates were found in our cohort than in the general population. Sociodemographic characteristics should be taken into consideration in the management of reproductive health in HIV-positive childbearing age women. Reproductive and family planning counseling must be incorporated into HIV/AIDS programs for women to help preventing HIV transmission to their partners and offspring

The Intersection of HIV, Social Vulnerability, and Reproductive Health: Analysis of Women Living with HIV in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 1996 to 2016.

Comprehensive care for sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and social needs for women living with HIV remains limited globally. We aimed to assess trends in baseline sociodemographic, clinical, sexual, and reproductive characteristics among a cohort of HIV-infected women in Rio de Janeiro from 1996 to 2016. Participants were stratified into four time periods based on year of enrollment; we compared cross-sectional data from each period. Of 1361 participants (median age 36), most were black or mixed race (60.1%), unemployed (52.1%), and without secondary education (54%). Adolescent pregnancy was common (51.5%), and 18.3% reported sexual debut at < 15 years old. Nearly half (45.2%) had < 5 lifetime sexual partners, yet prior syphilis and oncogenic human papillomavirus prevalence were 10.9% and 43.1%, respectively. Lifetime prevalence of induced abortion was 30.3%, and 16% used no contraceptive method. Future research should explore interactions between social vulnerability, HIV, and poor SRH outcomes and healthcare models to alleviate these disparities

Reproductive health syndemics impact retention in care among women living with HIV in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Syndemic psychosocial and reproductive factors affecting women's retention in HIV care remain understudied. We analyzed correlates of non-retention in a cohort of women with HIV in Brazil from 2000‒2015. Participants self-reported exposure to physical/sexual violence, illicit drug use, adolescent pregnancy, or induced abortion. Lifetime history of these psychosocial stressors were used to create a syndemic score based on the presence or absence of these conditions. All dichotomous variables were summed (range 0 to 4), with greater scores indicating more syndemic factors experienced. Logistic regression models identified predictors of non-retention, defined as < 2 HIV viral load or CD4 results within the first year of enrollment. Of 915 women, non-retention was observed for 18%. Prevalence of syndemic factors was adolescent pregnancy (53.2%), physical/sexual violence (38.3%), induced abortion (27.3%), and illicit drug use (17.2%); 41.2% experienced ≥ 2 syndemic conditions. Syndemic scores of 2 and 3 were associated with non-retention, as well as low education, years with HIV and seroprevalent syphilis. Psychosocial and reproductive syndemics can limit women's retention in HIV care. Syphilis infection predicted non-retention and could be explored as a syndemic factor in future studies

Cirandas da vida: dialogismo e arte na gestão em saúde Cirandas da vida: dialogism and art within health management

Este estudo tem como objeto as ações das Cirandas da Vida, em seu dialogismo entre o princípio da comunidade e a esfera institucional na formulação e implementação de políticas de saúde e tenta apreender como a perspectiva popular se expressa com arte na gestão em saúde. Busca capturar como as comunidades exprimem sua história de luta, mediante as linguagens da arte como fertilizadora do princípio de comunidade; analisar como os atores populares se inserem na formulação e implementação dessas políticas; compreender como os diferentes grupos geracionais expressam suas leituras da realidade, no dialogismo vivido na gestão em saúde e analisar como as linguagens da arte contribuem para a construção de atos limite como estratégias de superação das situações-limite apontadas nas rodas das Cirandas. Trabalhamos com a pesquisa ação, constituindo uma comunidade ampliada de pesquisa que procedeu à análise coletiva da experiência. A violência aponta como uma das situações limite, revelando o seu impacto na juventude em situação de conflito com a lei e as linguagens da artes surgem como potências, espaços de expressão, problematização e transgressão da realidade e do envolvimento desses jovens na construção de políticas. Revela ainda o enfoque de gênero e as estratégias de sócio-economia-solidária, bem como práticas de cuidado como atos-limite. O acesso aos serviços de saúde, outra situação limite apontada, revelou a necessidade de fortalecer a humanização da atenção. A arte e as práticas populares de cuidado surgem como potências dos atores populares que ocuparam rodas de gestão, incluindo seus saberes no cotidiano: o inédito viável.<br>This study discusses the actions of the project 'Cirandas da Vida', which works indialogism between the principles of community and the institutional field in the formulation and implementation of health policies. It tries to understand how popular perspective expresses itself artistically within health management, and to capture how communities express their history of fight through arts´ languages as a fertilizer of the principle of community; we looked into how popular actors insert themselves into the formulation and implementation of these policies, in order to understand how different groups of different generations express their readings of reality, in the dialogism lived within health management. Finally, we try and analyze how arts´ languages contribute to the construction of limit acts as strategies to surpass limit situations which came up during Cirandas' encounters . Action research was the chosen method: an extended research community was constituted and proceeded to a collective analysis of the experience. Violence points out that it is one of the limit situations, revealing its impact onto youth with problems with the law and the potential of the languages of art as spaces of expression, problematization and transgression of reality and the involvement of these youngsters within the construction of policies. It reveals also the focus on gender, and the strategies of social and solidarity economy and care practices as limit acts. Access to health services was another limit situation pointed out, emphasizing the necessity of strengthening humanization in health attention. Art and popular practices of care emerge as potentialities of the popular actors that participated of the management encounters, bringing their knowledge in a daily basis: the viable unknown
