| Abstract | The article reviews academic literature in the
social sciences and health on the problems and
challenges of STD/AIDS prevention in Portuguese-
speaking African countries. Based on a
bibliographic survey of the SciELO, PubMed,
and Sociological Abstracts databases between
1997 and 2007, the research under review was
organized into two groups, according to content.
The first group of studies sought to understand
STD/AIDS vulnerability among social groups
by examining local cultural and socioeconomic
factors as related to gender dynamics, sexuality,
color/race, religion and health care. The
second group encompassed critical assessments
of shortcomings in the STD/AIDS educational
messages delivered by governments and international
agencies. Attention is called to the way
in which the presence of traditional medicine
systems and the occurrence of civil wars in the
post-colonial period impact the STD/AIDS epidemic
in the African countries under study. | pt_BR |
