AB OBJECTIVES: Compare women's vulnerability to HIV/AIDS and sexual
subordination in different socioeconomic and social classes. Consider
their attitudes to sexual intercourses in order to practice safer sex.
METHODS: Through workshops we considered women's sexual attitudes to
prevent HIV/AIDS infection, in different groups: poor women,
professionals and teachers (low middle class). Special consideration of
socioeconomic and sexual subordination, and sexual practices (safer
sex). Attitudes were studied through questionnaires, role plays,
dialogues and revivals of their sexual relations. DISCUSSION: The fear
to get pregnant, anticonceptive needs and abortion were issues women
expressed as problems to talk with their partners. Partner's infidelity
and male sexuality weren't associated to HIV/AIDS risks for women.
HIV/AIDS information needs are only to talk to their children.
CONCLUSIONS: Women didn't consider HIV/AIDS risk for themselves, neither
associate their risk to male's habits (infidelity, bisexual relations
and others). Mass Media campaigns reinforce high risk groups, not normal
women and men. To change attitudes is necessary a personal work in small
groups.
