0356/2018 - Idosos vivendo com HIV – comportamento e conhecimento sobre sexualidade: Revisão integrativa. Elderly living with HIV - behavior and knowledge about sexuality: Integrative review.
o presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar e analisar a produção científica acerca do comportamento e conhecimento sobre sexualidade de idosos que vivem com HIV. Realizou-se uma revisão integrativa de artigos científicos indexados nas bases de dados, LILACS, IBECS, MEDLINE, BDENF, PubMed e Scopus (Elsevier), considerando publicações a partir de janeiro de 2007 a dezembro de 2016, utilizando os seguintes descritores: conhecimento (knowledge), comportamento (behavior/ behaviour) sexualidade (sexuality), idoso (Elderly), HIV/AIDS. De 1493 artigos encontrados, 11 foram incluídos por preencherem os critérios de inclusão e foram analisados através de dois instrumentos: Critical Appraisal Skill Programme (CASP) e Agency for Healthcare and Research and Quality (AHRQ). Os dados sugerem que os idosos HIV positivo são sexualmente ativos e estão envolvidos em comportamentos de risco de transmissão do vírus. Percebe-se que existe uma produção científica limitada em relação ao comportamento e conhecimento sobre sexualidade entre os idosos que vivem com HIV. Conclui-se que o estudo poderá subsidiar políticas públicas em saúde que valorizem a abordagem sobre sexualidade na terceira idade, assim como a realização de novos questionamentos no tocante a esta temática.

Abstract:
the present study aimed to identify and analyze the scientific production about behavior and knowledge about sexuality of elderly people living with HIV. An integrative review of scientific articles indexed in databases, LILACS, IBECS, MEDLINE, BDENF, PubMed and Scopus (Elsevier) was carried out, considering publicationsJanuary 2007 to December 2016, using the following descriptors: knowledge, behavior/behaviour, sexuality, Elderly, HIV / AIDS. Of 1493 articles found, 11 were included because they met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed through two instruments: Critical Appraisal Skill Program (CASP) and Agency for Healthcare and Research and Quality (AHRQ). The data suggest that HIV-positive older people are sexually active and are involved in risk behaviors of virus transmission. It is noticed that there is a limited scientific production regarding the behavior and knowledge about sexuality among the elderly people living with HIV. It is concluded that the study may contribute to improve public health policies that favor the approach on sexuality in the elderly people, as well as the achievement of new questions regarding this issue.
