Homossexualidade e saúde : desafios para a terceira década de epidemia de HIV/AIDS

Neste artigo aponto alguns desafios que a epidemia de AIDS vem apresentando àqueles envolvidos com a promoção da saúde de homens com práticas homossexuais. Apesar de os homossexuais destacarem-se no empenho para enfrentar a epidemia, com uma mobilização que gerou ONGs, manuais sobre sexo seguro e promoção dos direitos humanos, continuam sofrendo com a associação AIDShomossexualidade. Divido os desafios a serem enfrentados em três campos: epidemiologia, prevenção e assistência. Saliento a importância da interdisciplinaridade dos diferentes saberes, da solidariedade entre pesquisadores e ativistas e da integralidade das ações de prevenção e assistência. As lições aprendidas indicam que as relações entre homossexualidade e saúde devem se definir a partir da solidariedade e da promoção da felicidade.In this paper I discuss some challenges posed by the AIDS epidemic to those involved in the promotion of health among men with homosexual practices. Although homosexuals are at the forefront of the struggle against the epidemic, with a mobilization that has generated the creation of NGOs, safe sex manuals and the promotion of human rights, they are still suffering with the association AIDShomosexuality. I divide the challenges into three fields: epidemiology, prevention and care. I highlight the importance of interdisciplinarity among the different fields of knowledge, solidarity among researchers and activists and the integration of prevention and care actions. The lessons learned indicate that solidarity and the promotion of happiness should be the basis upon which the relations between homosexuality and health should be determined

Two-hundred HIV-positive adults recruited from teaching hospitals and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Rio de Janeiro City were assessed on socio-demographic factors, adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and psychosocial factors hypothesized to be associated with ART. Predictors of non-adherence were analyzed using bivariate and multivariate analyses. Self-reported medication adherence was high (82% had adherence /90%). Non-adherence was associated with personal factors (i.e. sexual orientation, self-efficacy), physical factors (i.e. loss of appetite) and interpersonal factors (i.e. doctor-patient relationship). Adherence in Brazil is as good, if not better, than that seen in the US and western Europe, which is noteworthy since the sample was derived predominantly from public healthcare settings. It is possible that the connection to NGOs in Rio de Janeiro City played a helpful role in achieving high levels of adherence in this sample of people living with HIVand AIDS. Recommendations, based on study findings, include enhancing and sustaining supportive services for NGOs, promoting patient self-efficacy and behavioral skills for adherence, increasing social network support and having healthcare providers directly address patients’ medication beliefs, attitudes and experience with side effects
