- Title
Between strength and fragility: reflections on men's health and HIV/aids in the brazilian patriarchal context.
- Authors
da Silva Vieira Alves, Erika Karla
- Abstract
Objective: Men's health in Brazil is deeply influenced by sociocultural constructions, especially those rooted in patriarchy. These constructions, which often associate masculinity with strength and invulnerability, can mask men's vulnerabilities, particularly in relation to diseases such as HIV/AIDS. Since its emergence in the 1980s, HIV/AIDS has been a significant challenge for Brazilian public health, with high infection rates among men. The proposed study seeks to understand how patriarchy affects the perception and treatment of men's health in the context of HIV/AIDS, with the aim of developing more effective prevention and treatment strategies and promoting a more inclusive understanding of masculinity.
