巴西艾滋病毒/艾滋病传播的流行病学趋势表明,异性性传播对那些不属于传统“风险”类别的妇女越来越重要,而迄今为止,这些传统“风险”类别一直指导着研究和预防尝试。虽然现在人们更多地关注其他性传播疾病作为艾滋病毒预防的一部分,但同样的“风险”观点仍然盛行,并且倾向于依赖严格的定量指标和概念,将卫生保健工作者的信念和态度视为个人现象。这项研究。对里约热内卢公共卫生站妇科和产前项目中 STD 管理临床实践的检查揭示了性行为发送者规范与妇科临床实践之间的相互强化关系,这导致了性别等级制度的再现和对所有 STD 感染的脆弱性。 (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd,保留所有权利。
Epidemiological tendencies in the spread of HIV/AIDS in Brazil demonstrate the increasing importance of heterosexual transmission to women who are not included in those traditional categories of 'risk' which have so far guided research and attempts at prevention. While more attention is now being given to other STDs as part of HIV prevention, this same view of 'risk' prevails, as does a tendency to rely on strictly quantitative indicators and conceptions which treat health care workers' beliefs and attitudes as individual phenomena.This study. an examination of clinical practices of STD management in gynecological and antenatal programs in public health posts in Rio de Janeiro, reveals the mutually-reinforcing relationship between Sender norms in sexuality and gynecological clinical practices, which results in the reproduction of both gender hierarchy and vulnerability to infection by all STDs.
