Resumo: | INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVE: Aids cases are steadily increasing among young people and there are few studies describing young male vulnerability to HIV. A study was carried out aiming at developing a STD/AIDS prevention program for junior professional soccer players. METHODS: Study participants were twenty-five junior soccer players of a major league professional team of the city of Campinas, Brazil. There were 2 segments. In segment 1, participants were given a self-administered questionnaire covering sociodemographic data, sexual behavior, specific gender-related behaviors, condom use, HIV/AIDS knowledge and prevention, and sports associated exposure risk. In segment 2, 17 sessions of group dynamics were carried out. Many forms of expression (speech, writing, pictures, and videos) were encouraged to grasp participants' thoughts on STD/AIDS-related matters. RESULTS: Participants showed good knowledge on HIV transmission but they were poorly informed on reproduction and STDs. Unwanted pregnancy is their main concern. As for condom use, 73% consistently used condoms with casual partners (73%), and only 27% consistently used them with regular partners. Also, 58% considered risky to have HIV-positive players among them. CONCLUSIONS: Young players do not consider themselves vulnerable despite their chances of HIV infection and unwanted pregnancy. They have poor knowledge about the human body and reproductive health. Soccer milieu as well as other sports milieus create great opportunities for prevention programs, where they may have a multiplier effect since athletes are often regarded as role models for children and youngsters. |

INTRODUÇÃO/ OBJETIVO: Os casos de Aids continuam crescendo entre os jovens, e existem poucos estudos para entender as especificidades da vulnerabilidade masculina no contexto jovem. Assim, realizou-se estudo com o objetivo de desenvolver um programa de prevenção de doenças sexualmente transmissíveis (DST) e da Aids entre jogadores profissionais de futebol. MÉTODOS: Participaram do estudo 25 jogadores juniores de um time de futebol profissional de Campinas, SP. O estudo foi desenvolvido em duas etapas: (1) aplicação de questionário para auto-resposta, com informações sociodemográficas, sobre adesão às normas tradicionais de gênero, conhecimentos e prevenção de DST/Aids e risco de transmissão associado ao esporte; e (2) uma segunda etapa com dezessete sessões de dinâmica de grupo. Diversas dinâmicas e formas de expressão (discursiva, escrita, pictográfica, vídeos) foram utilizadas para captar os conteúdos do grupo com referência aos temas desenvolvidos. RESULTADOS: O grupo mostrou elevado grau de informação quanto às vias de transmissão do HIV e baixo nível de conhecimento em relação à reprodução e às DST. A gravidez não planejada constituiu a principal preocupação desses jovens. Quanto ao preservativo, o uso consistente só foi relatado com parceiras casuais (73%) e foi inconsistente com parceiras fixas (27%). A convivência, no futebol, com atletas infectados pelo HIV, é entendida como ameaça para 58% do grupo. CONCLUSÕES: Os jovens se consideram pouco vulneráveis, embora expostos à possibilidade de adquirir HIV e de ocorrer gravidez indesejada. Os atletas têm pouco conhecimento sobre o corpo e sobre a saúde reprodutiva. O espaço do futebol, assim como dos demais esportes, pode ser um importante local para intervenção e formação de multiplicadores, uma vez que jogadores são considerados modelos por crianças e jovens.
