La vulnerabilidad del embarazo en las trabajadoras del sexo

Objective: To evaluate the exposure of the mother-baby binomial to complications in sex workers. Methods: This is an integrative literature review that followed a 6-phase system. The research took place in the Virtual Health Library in the following databases: Nursing Database (BDENF- Nursing), Online Medical Literature Analysis and Recovery System (Medline), Latin American Literature of Health Sciences (LiLACS), Spanish Bibliographic Index of Health Sciences (IBECS-ES), National Center for Biotechnological Information (NCBI), SAGE Journals with the descriptors: sex workers and sexually transmitted infections, prostitution and sexually transmitted infections, prostitution and vulnerability, from March to April 2019; 105 articles were identified and were submitted to the exclusion and inclusion criteria, and 25 publications were obtained for the sample. Results: Based on the analysis of the articles the following categories were determined: sexually transmitted infections (STIs), violence and illicit or licit drugs are linked. Conclusion: Despite the limitation of sampling, the study allowed us to evaluate that the mother-baby binomial is vulnerable to several complications such as spontaneous abortion, growth restriction, premature labor, fetal and/or maternal death, prematurity, physical and behavioral abnormalities of mother and baby, and placental detachment, due to suffered violence, acquired sexually transmitted infections and used substances.

Objective: to analyze in the scientific literature the educational technologies on sexually transmitted infections used in health education for incarcerated women. Method: an integrative review carried out by searching for articles in the following databases: Scopus, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health, Education Resources Information Center, PsycInFO, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Latin American Literature in Health Sciences, Cochrane, and the ScienceDirect electronic library. There were no language and time restrictions. A search strategy was developed in PubMed and later adapted to the other databases. Results: a total of 823 studies were initially identified and, after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, eight articles were selected. Most of them were developed in the United States with a predominance of randomized clinical trials. The technologies identified were of the printed materials type, isolated or associated to simulators of genital organs, videos, and games. Conclusion: the technologies on sexually transmitted infections used in health education for incarcerated women may contribute to adherence to the prevention of this serious public health problem in the context of deprivation of liberty.

Introduction: Various territorial crises have marked humanity, causing precarious and irregular population displacements with an impact on the health of the population assigned to the waiting territories. Objective: This study sought to assess the impacts of the recent displacement of Venezuelans, amid the syphilis epidemic in Brazil, in the period from 2016 to 2019. Methods: This was a qualitative study with bibliographic design, in which searches were carried out in the Notifiable Disease Information System (SINAN), in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), in Google Scholar, also going through databases referenced in the health area, such as Latin American Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) and Nursing Database (BDENF). Results: The study showed that the disorderly displacement of Venezuelans had an international and local impact, culminating in the precariousness and overload of essential health services, shortage of medicines and supplies, an increase in the number of patients, resurgence of the measles outbreak in Brazil and an increase in the incidence of sexually transmitted infections such as syphilis. It was found that in the SINAN compulsory notification forms, there is no specific field for nationality, which makes it difficult to identify foreigners with syphilis, as well as the planning and monitoring of coping measures. Conclusion: As this is a challenging, conflicting theme, perceived as transversal, with micro-territorial, macro-regional, national and international implications, there is a need for more studies from a transdisciplinary approach to understand, analyze, prospect and provide a structured proposal for confronting the problematic evidenced in this work.

The Us

This chapter turns from a historical account of the development of the US literature of experience and the Latin American literature of reading to a textual analysis of the US and Latin American historical novel. Hemispheric/inter-American scholars often cite William Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom! (1936), Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967), and Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon (1977) as exemplifying instances of literary borrowing across the North–South divide. As I demonstrate, however, each of the later texts also realigns its predecessor’s historical imaginary according to the dominant logics of the US and Latin American literary fields. Whereas the American works foreground experiential models of reconstructing the past and conveying knowledge across generations, García Márquez’s Latin American novel presents reading as the fundamental mode of comprehending and transmitting history.

New Interpretation

Anxieties of Experience: The Literatures of the Americas from Whitman to Bolaño offers a new interpretation of US and Latin American literature from the nineteenth century to the present. Revisiting longstanding debates in the hemisphere about whether the source of authority for New World literature derives from an author’s first-hand contact with American places and peoples or from a creative (mis)reading of existing traditions, the book charts a widening gap in how modern US and Latin American writers defined their literary authority. In the process, it traces the development of two distinct literary strains in the Americas: the “US literature of experience” and the “Latin American literature of the reader.” Reinterpreting a range of canonical works from Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass to Roberto Bolaño’s 2666, Anxieties of Experience shows how this hemispheric literary divide fueled a series of anxieties, misunderstandings, and “misencounters” between US and Latin American authors. In the wake of recent calls to rethink the “common grounds” approach to literature across the Americas, the book advocates a comparative approach that highlights the distinct logics of production and legitimation in the US and Latin American literary fields. Anxieties of Experience closes by exploring the convergence of the literature of experience and the literature of the reader in the first decades of the twenty-first century, arguing that the post-Bolaño moment has produced the strongest signs of a truly reciprocal literature of the Americas in more than a hundred years.

Abstract Background Male sex workers are at high-risk for acquisition of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We quantified incidence rates of STIs and identified their time-varying predictors among male sex workers in Mexico City. Methods From January 2012 to May 2014, male sex workers recruited from the largest HIV clinic and community sites in Mexico City were tested for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis, and HIV at baseline, 6-months, and 12-months. Incidence rates with 95% bootstrapped confidence limits were calculated. We examined potential time-varying predictors using generalized estimating equations for a population averaged model. Results Among 227 male sex workers, median age was 24 and baseline HIV prevalence was 32%. Incidence rates (per 100 person-years) were as follows: HIV [5.23; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.15–10.31], chlamydia (5.15; 95% CI: 2.58–9.34), gonorrhea (3.93; 95% CI: 1.88–7.83), syphilis (13.04; 95% CI: 8.24–19.94), hepatitis B (2.11; 95% CI: 0.53–4.89), hepatitis C (0.95; 95% CI: 0.00–3.16), any STI except HIV (30.99; 95% CI: 21.73–40.26), and any STI including HIV (50.08; 95% CI: 37.60–62.55). In the multivariable-adjusted model, incident STI (excluding HIV) were lower among those who reported consistently using condoms during anal and vaginal intercourse (odds ratio = 0.03, 95% CI: 0.00–0.68) compared to those who reported inconsistently using condoms during anal and vaginal intercourse. Conclusions Incidence of STIs is high among male sex workers in Mexico City. Consistent condom use is an important protective factor for STIs, and should be an important component of interventions to prevent incident infections.
