Indigenous health in times of AIDS: an integrative review

Abstract

Aim: To summarize the scientific production published in national and international literature related to HIV/AIDS in the indigenous population. Method: Integrative review, held in November 2014 in the virtual libraries LILACS, SCOPUS, PubMed and BVS, using these keywords as a search strategy; HIV, HIV infections, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, Indigenous Population and Health of Indigenous, regardless of the period of publication of these works. Results: The articles that met the inclusion criteria gave rise to two main themes: "AIDS in the indigenous population: contexts of vulnerability and risk" and "The battle against AIDS and the challenges of indigenous health." Discussion: There was a need to implement measures to control and prevent AIDS in indigenous tribes, as well as educational activities inherent to the traditional habits of this population. Conclusion: This evidence will contribute to the effective targeting of AIDS prevention actions aimed at the indigenous population.
