HIV prevalence among transgender women in Northeast Brazil – Findings from two Respondent Driven Sampling studies

Passivos , ativos and versáteis: Men who have sex with men, sexual positions and vulnerability to HIV infection in the northeast of Brazil
In Brazil, men who practise receptive anal sex (passivos) and both insertive and receptive anal sex (versáteis) are at greater risk of HIV infection than men who practise only insertive anal sex (ativos). In this study, which combined participant observation, 25 biographical interviews and a behavioural survey of 380 self-identified men who had sex with men in the metropolitan region of Recife (Brazil), we investigated how the sex-gender system, …

A face-to-face questionnaire was used and rapid HIV and syphilis tests conducted. Aggregated data were weighted and adj…
Construindo pontes: A prática da interdisciplinaridade. Estudo PopTrans: um estudo com travestis e mulheres transexuais em Salvador, Bahia, Brasil
Pessoas trans, incluindo travestis, mulheres transexuais, apresentam taxas desproporcionalmente elevadas de HIV/AIDS em comparação com o restante da população.

Assim, uma equipe de pesquisadores de diferentes áreas desenvolve um projeto de pesquisa interdisciplinar com o objetivo de conhecer as condições e os modos de vida, e ao mesmo tempo investigar fatore…
Late presentation to HIV/Aids care in Brazil among men who self-identify as heterosexual
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the factors associated with late presentation to HIV/AIDS services among heterosexual men. METHODS: Men infected by HIV who self-identified as heterosexual (n = 543) were included in the study. Descriptive, biivariate and logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the factors associated with late presentation (defined as individuals whose first CD4 count was <350 cells/mm3) in the study population. RESULTS: The …
Vulnerability in the context of HIV and syphilis infection in a population of men who have sex with men (MSM) in Salvador, Bahia State, Brazil
Social, individual, and programmatic vulnerability of men who have sex with men (MSM) in the context of the HIV epidemic and other sexually transmitted infections (STI) is a reality in many countries. The survey Behavior, Attitudes, Practices, and Prevalence of HIV and Syphilis in Men Who Have Sex with Men in 10 Brazilian Cities selected 383 MSM in the city of Salvador, Bahia State, Brazil, using the respondent driven sampling (RDS) technique. In…
Making the invisible, visible: A cross-sectional study of late presentation to HIV/Aids services among men who have sex with men from a large urban center of Brazil
The prevalence of LP in this population was higher than noted in the global literature on LP among MSM. Heterosexual men and older age individuals experienced substantial barriers to HIV care. The stigma around same-sex behaviors and the current focus of HIV prevention and treatment campaigns on younger age individuals may limit patients' and providers' awareness of the risk for HIV and access to available services. In addition to addressing HIV-…
