Abstract

FERRAZ, Dulce Aurélia de Souza  and  NEMES, Maria Ines Battistella. Co-management and prevention of STD/AIDS in primary care: contributions from the human rights and vulnerability framework. Temas psicol. [online]. 2013, vol.21, n.3, pp. 735-749. ISSN 1413-389X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.9788/TP2013.3-EE04PT.

The implementation of STD/AIDS prevention services in primary health care is a national recommendation, aligned with principles that organize that level of care in Brazil. However, characteristics of the predominant organization of health work in Brazil associated with low technological definition of these actions have limited its effectiveness according to the principles of the vulnerability and human rights framework. Based on the analysis of the return meeting of a study on the implementation of these actions in a Family Health Care Facility, this article examines the potential of co-management spaces for the improvement of this implementation process, as well as the potential of the vulnerability and human rights framework, articulated to the health work theory, to reorient prevention activities. Results show that these spaces, guided by the benchmarks above, leads to the recognition of the work process, the identification of the difficulties experienced by practitioners in relation to the prevention of STD/AIDS and contribute to the formulation of solutions based on practical experience. Aiming to advance the implementation of actions, continued co-management actions are suggested as well as the approach with convergent experiments in the Brazilian health system.
