1604/2013 - Fatores associados à infecção pelo HIV/AIDS entre adolescentes e adultos jovens matriculados em Centro de Testagem e Aconselhamento no Estado da Bahia Factors associated with infection by HIV/SIDA among adolescents and youngs enrolled in a Counseling and Testing Center in the State of Bahia/Brazil
Objetivo: investigar fatores associados à infecção pelo HIV entre adolescentes e adultos jovens, ambos os sexos, registrados no Centro de Testagem e Aconselhamento/CTA de Feira de Santana, Bahia. Método: estudo analítico com delineamento transversal, utilizando dados do Sistema de Informação do CTA (SI-CTA) no período de 2007 a 2011. Foram processadas informações de 3.768 indivíduos, sendo verificada a diferença de proporções, com Qui-quadrado (2) de Pearson (p<0,05) e análise estratificada, através da Razão de Prevalência/RP, com Intervalos de Confiança (IC) de 95%, considerando como desfecho o status sorológico. Resultados: no período estudado, 73 jovens estavam infectados pelo HIV (prevalência de 1,94%). Na população feminina, foram identificadas associações, estatisticamente significantes, para soropositividade e consumo de drogas (RP=2,1), consumo de bebidas alcoólicas (RP=2,13) e outras drogas (RP=6,72); estar casada ou em união estável (RP=2,02). No sexo masculino, associaram-se com a soropositividade o consumo de outras drogas (RP=13,25) e orientação homossexual/bissexual (RP=5,21). Em ambos os sexos, na categoria com parceiro estável, a soropositividade mostrou associação com companheiro usuário de drogas e/ou portador de DST e/ou HIV. Conclusões: Esses achados sinalizam a necessidade de medidas eficazes no controle e prevenção da infecção pelo HIV, entre jovens.
