Resumo(s)
O comportamento sexual é parte integrante da conduta dos indivíduos nas mais variadas faixas etárias. A sua natureza primária não apresenta riscos para a saúde. Porém, a não utilização de uma barreira eficaz contra infeções que possam advir desse contacto indicia um fator de risco à saúde dos indivíduos. Neste âmbito, sabe-se que as mulheres são mais suscetíveis a desenvolver infeções e, posteriormente, a desenvolver complicações com maior frequência do que os homens. A literatura indica que as mulheres são biologicamente, culturalmente e socioeconomicamente mais vulneráveis. Simultaneamente e devido às mudanças ocorridas nos últimos tempos, no que concerne aos estilos de vida, é fundamental analisarmos o papel do género, do contexto e da saúde. No que respeita à saúde mental, a literatura tem demonstrado que este fator influencia os comportamentos sexuais de risco.
Sexual behavior is an integral part of the risk behavior of individuals in the most varied age groups. Its primary nature poses no health risk. However, failure to use an effective barrier against infections that may result from such contact indicates a risk factor for the health of individuals. In this context it is known that women are most susceptible to developing infections and subsequently develop complications more often than men. The literature indicates that women are biologically, culturally and socioeconomically more vulnerable. Simultaneously and due to the changes, that have taken place in recent times, it is fundamental to analyze the role of gender, context and health. With regard to mental health, literature has shown that this factor influences sexual risk behaviors.
