HIV-Related Public Stigma in Spain
The objective of this paper is to describe the long-term evolution of HIV-related public stigma and the misconceptions around HIV transmission in Spain. A repeated cross-sectional study was conducted using data from three surveys with random sampling carried out in 2008, 2012, and 2021 with a total of 4,836 participants aged ≥ 16 residing in Spain. The temporal variation of public stigma and discrimination indicators between 2008 and 2021 and 201…
Definindo e redefinindo conceitos
A natureza feminina e as supostas limitações das mulheres foram utilizadas como justificativa para excluir mais da metade da espécie humana da tomada de decisões, participação política, mercado de trabalho e educação de qualidade. Diante disso, o presente artigo tem como objetivo examinar a construção da linguagem e de conceitos ligados ao feminino e ao modo como estes são utilizados para explicar e justificar a marginalização e a sujeição do suj…
Content analysis of Spanish judgements addressing the sexual transmission of HIV
This study performed a content analysis of the language of the Spanish judgements addressing the sexual transmission of HIV in order to determine its possible interrelationship with HIV-related stigma. All judgements and writs dictated by Spanish penal and civil jurisdictions between 1981 and December 2016 were obtained through a systematic search of the Spanish legal databases. The inclusion criterion was that the possible transmission of HIV wa…
Beyond viral suppression of HIV – the new quality of life frontier
BACKGROUND: In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) adopted a new Global Health Sector Strategy on HIV for 2016-2021. It establishes 15 ambitious targets, including the '90-90-90' target calling on health systems to reduce under-diagnosis of HIV, treat a greater number of those diagnosed, and ensure that those being treated achieve viral suppression. DISCUSSION: The WHO strategy calls for person-centered chronic care for people living with H…

Restricted access to antiretroviral treatment for undocumented migrants
Migrants are confronted with multiple risk factors that shape patterns of population HIV susceptibility and vulnerability, which simultaneously affect HIV transmission. Undocumented migrants incur additional risks for contracting HIV due to limited access to adequate health care services, protection and justice, alongside insecure housing and employment conditions. All EU/EEA countries have ratified a number of international and regional human ri…
The contribution of a gender perspective to the understanding of migrants’ health
In 2005 women represented approximately half of all 190 million international migrants worldwide. This paper addresses the need to integrate a gender perspective into epidemiological studies on migration and health, outlines conceptual gaps and discusses some methodological problems. We mainly consider the international voluntary migrant. Women may emigrate as wives or as workers in a labour market in which they face double segregation, both as m…
Gender differences in progression to Aids and death from HIV seroconversion in a cohort of injecting dug users from 1986 to 2001
Background: Although the consensus is that gender does not influence HIV progression, its relevance may depend on the setting. Aim: To study gender differences in HIV progression to AIDS and death from 1986 to 2001 in a cohort of injecting drug user (IDU) seroconverters in Spain. Methods: Risk of AIDS and death in persons infected for the same length of time were compared through Kaplan-Meier, allowing for late entry, and Cox regression adjusting…
Sociodemographic and psychological variables influencing adherence to antiretroviral therapy
OBJECTIVE: To assess the degree of compliance with antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected patients, and identify which sociodemographic and psychological factors influence it, in order to develop strategies to improve adherence. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study in a reference HIV/AIDS institution located in Madrid, Spain. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 366 HIV-infected patients who were on treatment with antiretroviral drugs were invit…
