| Resumo: | The objective of this master’s thesis in Social Service is to analyze the feedback of
the genre patriarchal relations in the males’ vulnerability in view of the HIV/AIDS
epidemy, identifying the ideological and behavioral factors about what means to be a
male in our society, and considering it is possible that those relations increase the
above-mentioned vulnerability, so that it may add to the amount of HIV/AIDS case
among the masculine population. Based on these generalized premises, the work
discusses the emerging and persistent vulnerability cross-overs while articulates
them to the socio-cultural construction of the genre patriarchal relations.in addition, it
tells men’s experiences and perceptions as what concerns the assistance provided in
the health services and, finally, points to barriers blocking the road to establish and
effectuate a Male’s Health National Policy in the national health services in Brazil,
and, in particular, in Rio Grande do Norte State. This study was discovered
necessary during the experience of eight years’ work as social assistant attending
HIV/AIDS patients and their familiars at the Dr. Giselda Trigueiro Hospital, in
Natal/RN, and a reference in the treatment of infectious diseases as HIV/AIDS in Rio
Grande do Norte State. The research was anchored on bibliographical survey,
documental analysis and recollection of empirical data. The documental analysis and
the field empirical survey were carried out in the above-mentioned hospital unit. The
documental analysis took in account the information registered in the medical and
social HIV/AIDS patients’ records and the empirical research involved male patients
undergoing health care in the infectiology ward by applying a semi-structured
interview. The results of the research indicate that the masculine prevailing model n
the macho-patriarchal-capitalist society impacts negatively in men’s health, forcing
them to react with attitudes that put them in situations of vulnerability. In
consequence, their behavior is strongly influenced by cultural trends of genre
patriarchal relations. Regarding HIV/AIDS, the attitude of affirming the male’s virility
impacts directly in the amount of disease cases specially among young men and
men who make love with men (HSH). The research also alerts that when men try to
follow this model, that is, to play the “strong and courageous” role, it frequently
reflects negatively in their lives, taking them to neglect medical care, and when they
look for it, they are already seriously ill. As what concerns the men’s perception about
the health services, we consider that the patients experience a certain process of
ignoring the way these services work and their rights as patients. |
