Introducción
Homens que fazem sexo com homens negociando prazer e prevenção a partir da profilaxia pré-exposição ao HIV
As profilaxias baseadas no uso de antirretrovirais, como a profilaxia pré-exposição sexual ao HIV (PrEP), têm o potencial de proteger as populações mais vulneráveis à infecção, o que renova o otimismo para controle da epidemia de HIV. Nesse cenário, o objetivo do artigo é analisar as percepções, negociações e tensões do uso de PrEP, no âmbito da prevenção combinada, em homens que fazem sexo com homens (HSH). Trata-se de um recorte qualitativo de …
Cisnormativity, human rights and vulnerability of young transgender women to HIV

This study explores how rights violations across different areas of life shape YTW's vulnerability to HIV through an intersectional lens. We conducted 13 in-depth interviews and one group interview with YTW participating in an HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) cohort. Thematic analysis with inte…

De lo macro a lo micro
Las políticas públicas en salud suelen ser planificadas generalizando colectivos y, en muchas ocasiones, idealizando poblaciones a ser intervenidas. Sin embargo, las perspectivas macro encuentran sus límites al ser interpeladas por personas que no se ajustan a los criterios establecidos desde los centros de poder. Aún más cuando se trata de colectivos que atraviesan de manera constante o intermitente periodos de vulnerabilidad. Particularmente la…

More than Meets the Eye
Most studies on bariatric surgery identify personal factors such as “non-compliance” to lifestyle changes as the cause of weight gain and subsequent inability to lose weight. Prior qualitative studies suggest that weight loss patients have complicated relationships with both self and weight, with significant emotional and psychological implications. But how do patients themselves understand the trajectories of their weight gain as related to intr…

Before I Saw a Gas Canister, Now I See a Person
Weight stigma is reportedly globalizing, but there is limited evidence of how concerns around weight change are impacting those in many places. Additionally, few studies to date have considered how weight stigma operates in the context of interventions that purposefully eschew from a focus on weight itself. We have used qualitative analysis to examine body acceptance and responses to weight stigma among urban Brazilian gorda women participating i…
