to understand the representations about sexuality of people diagnosed late with HIV infection and its implications in the delayed search for diagnosis.
this is a qualitative study, whose theoretical and methodological framework was Social Representation Theory. The research was carried out with 18 people diagnosed late with HIV infection through an open interview. For data analysis, Structural Narration Analysis was used, with support from MAXQDA 12®.
representations about sexuality contributed to delayed diagnosis, such as trust in a fixed partnership, sexual intercourse is natural, sexuality as a taboo, search for pleasure in sexual intercourse, regardless of risks, denial of risk for HIV infection.
representations about sexuality participate in a web of stereotypes and riskier ways of living, which contribute to delayed diagnosis. Sexual health education remains necessary and essential throughout people's lives.
了解晚期 HIV 感染者的性观念及其对延迟寻求诊断的影响。
这是一项定性研究，其理论和方法框架是社会表征理论。研究对象为通过开放式访谈确诊为晚期 HIV 感染的 18 人。使用 MAXQDA 12®支持的结构叙事分析进行数据分析。
性观念导致了诊断延迟，例如对固定伴侣的信任、性行为是自然的、性是禁忌、追求性愉悦而不顾风险、否认感染 HIV 的风险。
性观念参与了刻板印象和风险行为的网络，这导致了诊断的延迟。性健康教育在人们的一生中仍然是必要和重要的。
