Objective: To learn the knowledge, meanings and experiences of pregnant women on anti-HIV serological testing during pregnancy. Methods: This was an exploratory qualitative study was conducted in five Basic Health Units Iguatu, Ceará, with 20 pregnant women through semi-structured interview in December 2010and January 2011, after signing the agreement. We used analysis technique of the content. Results: Knowledge of the purpose of the review was limited by some, but attributed meanings representing maternal instinct, social responsibility and prevention of vertical transmission. All serology performed without difficulties of access, although some did not want to do it for fear of discovery of the disease. Conclusion: It is considered that these rological testis always offered to minimize the transmission of HIV

Fortaleza, CE, Brasil.Objetivo: Investigar a Relação Pescoço-Coxa (RPCx) como índice antropométrico para diagnosticar a Síndrome Metabólica em estudantes universitários brasileiros. Métodos: Estudo transversal com 691 adultos (> 18 anos) de ambos os sexos. Foram investigados os seguintes parâmetros antropométricos: circumferência abdominal, circumferência de pescoço, circumferência de coxa, índice de massa corporal e RPCx. Além disso, foram coletados dados laboratoriais, tais como: triglicérides, glicemia e colesterol HDL. Resultados: Foram encontrados valores de circumferência abdominal (83,59 ± 10,68 cm), de pescoço (37,29 ± 2,36 cm), coxa (52,37 ± 5,71 cm) e relação de pescoço-coxa (0,72 ± 0,07 cm) superiores entre os homens (p 18 years) of both sexes. Anthropometric parameters were investigated: abdominal circumference, neck circumference, thigh circumference, body mass index, and NTR. In addition, laboratory data were collected, such as: triglycerides, glycaemia and HDL cholesterol. Results: The abdominal circumference (83.59 ± 10.68 cm), neck (37.29 ± 2.36 cm), thigh (52.37 ± 5.71 cm) and the neck-thigh ratio (0.72 ± 0.07 cm) was higher among men (p 18 años) de ambos sexos. Se investigaron los siguientes parámetros antropométricos: circunferencia abdominal, circunferencia de cuello, circunferencia de muslo, índice de masa corporal y RCMx. Además, se recogieron datos de laboratorio, tales como triglicéridos, glicemia y colesterol HDL. Resultados: Se encontraron valores de circunferencia abdominal (83,59 ± 10,68 cm), de cuello (37,29 ± 2,36 cm), muslo (52,37 ± 5,71 cm) y relación de cuello-muslo (0, 72 ± 0,07 cm) superiores entre los hombres (p <0,001). Al analizar los componentes del síndrome, la RCMx mostró una correlación lineal positiva estadísticamente signifi cativa para todos los casos. Conclusión: En esta investigación se ha demostrado que la RCMx no sirve como criterio diagnóstico del SM, pero indica alteraciones en los componentes constituyentes del síndrome
