0162/2022 - Testes rápidos de HIV, Sífilis e Hepatites Crônicas na população carcerária em um complexo penitenciário de Salvador- BA Rapid tests for HIV, Syphilis and Chronic Hepatitis in a prison population in a prison complex in Salvador – BA
O objetivo do estudo foi analisar quantitativamente resultados de testes rápidos de Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana (HIV), Sífilis e Hepatites crônicas na população carcerária em complexo penitenciário de Salvador-BA. Trata-se de um estudo transversal. A amostra foi composta por homens privados de liberdade no período de agosto de 2018 a agosto de 2020, com testes rápidos realizados. Para análise dos dados foi utilizada estatística descritiva e razão de prevalência com os respectivos intervalos de confiança de 95%. Foram estudados 6.160 homens com uma maioria (93,1%) de pretos e pardos, residentes de Salvador- BA (65,8%), com escolaridade predominante de ensino fundamental (65,3%). Das pessoas privadas de liberdade, 581 (9,4%) obtiveram resultado reagente para uma ou mais IST, sendo Sífilis a mais prevalente (80%). As variáveis idade maior que 25 anos [RP=1,37 IC95% (1,17-1,61)] e nível de escolaridade sem presença de ensino superior [RP=2,16 IC95% (1,04-4,49)] mostraram-se associadas à maior taxa de positividade nos testes, enquanto o não compartilhamento de drogas em algum momento da vida mostrou ser fator protetor à positividade nos testes [RP = 1,28 IC95% (1,07-1,53)]. Conclui-se que existiu uma baixa prevalência das IST na amostra estudada, sendo Sífilis a mais prevalente.
The objective of the study was to quantitatively analyze the results of rapid tests for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Syphilis and Chronic Hepatitis in the prison population in a prison complex in Salvador-BA. This is a cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of men incarceratedAugust 2018 to August 2020, who had rapid tests performed. For data analysis, descriptive statistics and prevalence ratios were used with the respective 95% confidence intervals. A total of 6,160 men were studied, with a majority (93.1%) of blacks and browns, residents of Salvador-BA (65.8%), with predominantly elementary schooling (65.3%). Of the persons deprived of their liberty, 581 (9.4%) had a positive result for one or more STIs, with Syphilis being the most prevalent (80%). The variables age greater than 25 years [PR=1.37 CI95%(1.17-1.61)] and level of education without the higher education [PR=2.16 CI95% (1.04-4.49)] were associated a higher rate of positivity in tests, while never sharing drugs proved to be protective factor for positivity in the tests [PR=1.28 95%CI (1.07-1.53)]. It was concluded that there was a low prevalence of STIs in the sample studied, with Syphilis being the most prevalent.
