Factores de propagação do HIV/SIDA no P.A. de Ressano Garcia: uma análise focalizada nos movimentos populacionais

Abstract

This work presents the theme of population and public health, addressing issues related to population movements and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Analysis of the context in which population movements occur and their relationship with the situation of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. in Ressano Garcia's P.A., it is the main objective of the work. To reach the outlined objectives, a literature review was used in order to acquire greater skill and better knowledge of the approaches to the subject. This method was complemented by a qualitative fieldwork, where the following methodologies were applied: contact with key informants and direct observation, GIS was also used to represent the origin, routes, destination, place of convergence of these routes and the respective elements involved in the movements. The work is divided into five chapters. The first presents introductory aspects, incorporating HIV prevalence data from different regions of the world; the second chapter corresponds to the literature review on the subjects related to the theme, the third describes the study area in its physical aspects, as well as its socio-economic ones. The fourth and fifth chapters present and analyze the study results and finally, the sixth chapter presents the conclusive aspects. It appears that the occurrence of greater population mobility within Ressano Garcia's P.A is due to the fact that it constitutes a crossing point for South Africa, a country with a considerable level of development in Southern Africa. On the other hand, the Maputo development corridor contributes to the increase in population movements and the border post contributes to the concentration of people waiting for the regularization of their hours to cross the border, semi-collective transporters, practitioners of informal trade, a situation that it gives rise to the demand and supply of entertainment and accommodation establishments such as bars, nightclubs, pensions, which leads the resident population to frequent places of concentration that expose them to a greater risk of HIV/AIDS infection.(TRADUÇÁO NOSSA)
