Aspectos epidemiológicos de um grupo de detentas no presídio feminino de Brasília e seus fatores de riscos para os vírus HBV e HCV

Abstract

The prisoners who were willing to cooperate with the research to perform this work are the average age of 26 years, are single and have completed primary school. Most have tattoo and piercing have used, although they have undergone blood transfusions. They argued that they do not have DST and claimed to have undergone HIV tests with negative results. They had only one partner, with sporadic use of condoms, because they say preferably straight, which apparently provides an internal behavior away from predominantly homosexual. Most states do not use any kind of drugs, and one that said to use, we used a combination of marijuana and cocaine, in that order of preference. On the incidence of jaundice, the inmates said that most of them never had, and said not to share needles. They also said not knowing whether they were carriers of hepatitis studied, although we have found cases of hepatitis during the search.
