Resumo: Abstract Social and sexual contact networks between men who have sex with men (MSM) play an important role in understanding the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In Salvador (Bahia State, Brazil), one of the cities in the survey Behavior, Attitudes, Practices, and Prevalence of HIV and Syphilis among Men Who Have Sex with Men in 10 Brazilian Cities, data were collected in 2008/2009 from a sample of 383 MSM using Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS). Network analysis was used to study friendship networks and sexual partner networks. The study also focused on the association between the number of links (degree) and the number of sexual partners, in addition to socio-demographic characteristics. The networks’ structure potentially facilitates HIV transmission. However, the same networks can also be used to spread messages on STI/HIV prevention, since the proximity and similarity of MSM in these networks can encourage behavior change and positive attitudes towards prevention.

Los datos de Salvador, Bahía, Brasil, que se recabaron de la encuesta Comportamiento, Actitudes, Prácticas y Prevalencia de VIH y Sífilis entre Hombres que Practican Sexo con Hombres en 10 Ciudades Brasileñas, fueron recogidos en 2008/2009 en una muestra de 383 HSH, usando Respondent Driven Sampling. Se utilizó el análisis de redes sociales para investigar las redes de amigos y parejas sexuales. También se analizó la relación entre el número de conexiones (grado) y el número de parejas sexuales, y las características socio-demográficas. Las redes presentan estructuras que facilitan la transmisión del VIH. Sin embargo, se puede aprovechar para difundir información para prevención del VIH y las ETS, así como que la proximidad y la similitud de los HSH en estas redes pueden influir en el comportamiento y las actitudes positivas para la prevención de las mismas.Resumo As redes sociais e de contato sexual entre homens que fazem sexo com homens (HSH) têm um papel importante na compreensão da ocorrência de doenças sexualmente transmissíveis (DST) e HIV, devido ao potencial de circulação de agentes infecciosos nestas estruturas. Dados da cidade de Salvador, Bahia, Brasil, que integraram a pesquisa Comportamento, Atitudes, Práticas e Prevalência de HIV e Sífilis entre Homens que Fazem Sexo com Homens em 10 Cidades Brasileiras foram coletados em 2008/2009 numa amostra de 383 HSH por meio da técnica Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS). Análise de redes sociais foi utilizada para investigar as redes de amigos e parceiros sexuais. Também foi avaliada a relação entre o número de conexões (grau), o número de parceiros sexuais e as características sociodemográficas. As redes apresentaram estruturas que facilitam a transmissão do HIV. Porém, estas redes podem ser exploradas para a disseminação de informações sobre a prevenção do HIV e DST, visto que a proximidade e similaridade dos HSH nessas redes podem influenciar comportamentos e atitudes positivas para a prevenção.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2015-11-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmltext/htmlapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5823Reports in Public Health; Vol. 31 No. 13 (2015): Supplement 1Cadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 31 n. 13 (2015): Suplemento 11678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZengporhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5823/12161https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5823/12162https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5823/12163https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5823/12164Sandra Mara Silva BrignolInês DouradoLeila Denise AmorimJosé Garcia Vivas MirandaLígia R.
