Abstract(s)
O risco de transmissão do VIH nos imigrantes é definido por três factores. O primeiro factor
definido pelas características individuais (género, estado civil, educação, etnia, religião, idade
de inicio da actividade sexual, etc.). O segundo factor é identificado pelas mudanças
relacionadas com a migração, a separação do companheiro e uma ausência de suporte social.
Por último, a exposição a um novo ambiente social, a uma nova cultura com diferentes
valores, normas, oportunidades e limitações que influenciarão uma mudança de
comportamentos.
No sentido de conhecer as crenças e atitudes dos sujeitos sobre a sexualidade e o
VIH/SIDA, foi aplicado um protocolo a 60 imigrantes, 30 imigrantes de nacionalidade
brasileira e 30 de nacionalidade guineense. Verificou-se que os sujeitos de ambas as
comunidades possuem bons conhecimentos acerca da área, contudo a informação retida nem
sempre é verificada nos comportamentos. Existem diferenças significativas entre as
nacionalidades, o género e o tempo de residência em Portugal quanto a alguns
comportamentos e conhecimentos.
The risk of HIV transmission in immigrants is defined by three factors. The first factor is individual’s characteristics (gender, education, ethnic, religion, etc.). The second factor identified is changes related with the migration, like the separation of the social support and being in a new environment. Thirdly a new social support and a new culture with different values, laws, opportunities, and limitations all amount to a change in the behaviors. With the goal to know the beliefs and attitudes of the individuals concerning sexuality and HIV/AIDS, it was applied three questionnaires to 60 immigrants, 30 Brazilian and 30 from Guinea. We could observe that the immigrants had good knowledge about this subject but the information that they have is not always observed in their behaviors. It’s possible to observe statistic differences between the nationalities, gender, behaviors based off of the years living, concepts, and knowledgements.
