Esta investigação tem como objetivo estudar a população toxicodependente face aos conhecimentos e perceções de risco sobre o VIH e analisar de que forma a morbilidade psicológica influencia nos comportamentos de risco, tendo em vista contribuir para um melhor conhecimento e compreensão da dependência de substâncias
e sua relação com certas variáveis psicossociais que podem desempenhar um papel importante na manutenção da dependência. Com uma amostra de 120 sujeitos, tanto do sexo masculino como feminino com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 56 anos,
procedeu-se à realização de um estudo descritivo, inferencial e correlacional, utilizando como instrumentos de colheita de dados a Dast (Drug Abuse Screening Test), a Escala de conhecimento sobre transmissão e prevenção do VIH (ECTP/VIH), outra escala
sobre atitudes e outros comportamentos relacionados com a sida (ACS), a BSI (Brief Sympton Inventory) além de uma questionário sociodemográfico e um questionário clinico e de comportamentos de risco para o VIH. De seguida, procedemos à análise das
relações entre as respetivas variáveis. Ao nível das hipóteses procurou estudar-se se existia uma relação entre morbilidade psicológica e comportamentos de risco, e se existia relação entre os comportamentos, conhecimentos e perceções de risco face ao VIH. Os resultados da nossa investigação indicam que indivíduos com um maior envolvimento com drogas têm mais comportamentos de partilha e mais sintomas
psicopatológicos. Concluímos a nossa investigação com uma interpretação destes resultados.
This research aims to study the population addict face the knowledge and perceptions of HIV risk and examine how psychological morbidity influences risk behaviors, aimed at contributing to a better knowledge and understanding of the dependence and its relationship with certain psychosocial variables that may play an important role in the maintenance of addiction. With a sample of 120 subjects, both male and female aged between 18 and 56 years, proceeded to carry out a descriptive, inferential and correlational, using as instruments for collecting data Dast (Drug Abuse screening Test), the range of knowledge about HIV transmission and prevention (ECTP / HIV), another scale on attitudes and other behaviors related to AIDS (ACS), BSI (Brief sympton Inventory) and a demographic questionnaire and a questionnaire clinical and risk behaviors for HIV. Next, we analyzed the relationships between the respective variables. In terms of the hypotheses sought to study whether there was a relationship between psychological morbidity and risk behaviors, and if there was a correlation between the behaviors, knowledge and perceptions of risk to HIV. The results of our research indicate that individuals with a greater involvement with drugs have more sharing behaviors and more psychopathological symptoms. We conclude our investigation with an interpretation of these results.
