Resumo: | This cross-sectional study focused on the sexual and reproductive health of women living with HIV, by age group, in the city of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. The sample consisted of 691 women. Differences were observed in number of pregnancies and number of children. History of illicit drug use was more frequent in the 18-34-year age group, and exchanging sex for money was more frequent among women 18-29 years of age. This sample of women living with HIV treated in specialized public services in Southern Brazil showed a socioeconomic profile and sexual behavior that did not match the pattern typically identified in the process of "feminization" of the epidemic (with a majority of poor women with low schooling and a limited number of sexual partners). The study provides evidence of factors characterizing women's vulnerability to HIV infection, differing by age and raising specific demands for healthcare services. |

La muestra estuvo constituida por 691 mujeres. Se observaron diferencias en cuanto al número de gestaciones e hijos. El uso de drogas ilícitas durante la vida fue más frecuente en la franja de los 18 a los 34 años, y la práctica de sexo por dinero fue más frecuente entre las mujeres de 18 a 29 años. Las mujeres viviendo con VIH, atendidas en los servicios públicos especializados en el Sur de Brasil, presentan un perfil socioeconómico y de comportamiento sexual que no corresponde al padrón típicamente identificado en el proceso de feminización de la epidemia, donde se destacan, particularmente, mujeres pobres, con baja escolaridad y bajo número de compañeros sexuales. El estudio proporciona evidencias de que algunos factores, que caracterizan la vulnerabilidad de las mujeres a la infección por el VIH, son bastante diferenciados cuando consideramos la franja de edad, lo que implica acciones específicas de atención en los servicios de salud.Estudo transversal que analisou o comportamento, em termos de saúde sexual e reprodutiva, adotado pelas mulheres vivendo com HIV, segundo a faixa etária, na cidade de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil.
